Hello

Hey, guys. We can help. I would like to write letters to any of the Wehrmacht or SS veterans to get autographs for my collection, I can not go to Germany. So I want to write a letter. Please help with mailing addresses.

Hi, Herr Krems is very deaf and his eyesight is very poor, he gave me some of his documents from his time in the Luftwaffe, I have been corresponding and have visited him several times over the last 16 years.

Thank you for info!

I sent a letter to him in today.

but if his eyesight is very poor, I think maybe answer(reply) is difficult to him...

anyway, I wish for Mr. Krems's good health.
