Mr. Broch want to stop receving stuffs
Hello guys, it's been quite a long time.
In last fall, I exchanged letter with Mr. Broch been a while. Along with some questions and photos as usual.
As you know he's 98 years old and stuffs(letter, photos etc.) can be make hard to him, like it did to others veterans. For that reason I asked a question to Mr. Broch that if he want stop receving stuffs. If he want, I wanted to be sure about it for help him as much as I can.
And he had ask to stop sending stuffs. He told me it's hard in his age. Some guys may have sent some stuffs to him in the meantime, but I hope (at least us) we respect his intention and just let him rest.
I'm heartily sorry that I couldn't say it immediately. Some of you know I have health problems and for that reason I can't come here often as I used to.
Anyway, everone be careful about the COVID-19. May the good health be with you always.
p.s. I use english rarely these days. So I wasn't good at english originally, but it could be worse now. lol.Comment

Very sorry to say Gottfried has past away. He lived in the next town over and I knew him for the last five or so years and we would have lunch together once a month. We would talk a lot about his experiences in the Luftwaffe and growing up in Germany. My dad was also in the Luftwaffe on the Russian front and I'm a USAF vet myself. I really enjoyed talking to him in German, that helped me keep up on my first language. So I can tell you he was the real deal. Much of what we talked about isn't in his book, he was a very interesting person to talk to and is missed by me.Comment
