Rest in peace with the respect owed any old soldier from any country who served in any war.

That was one of the simplest, yet very profound, statements I have read in a long time.

Rest in peace with the respect owed any old soldier from any country who served in any war.

Sometimes I think that many people forget that they were soldiers who fought the wars and not the politicians that started them !!!

Phil

With the edit function now removed, do you think we should shoot for an update at the end of the month, to save space ?

Hi Andrew,

yes, it is an idea,what do you think adapt the list every 15 days.Sometimes ,there are many changes to do in very little time.

Regards

Phil.

**Huntzman** · 11-01-2009, 10:58 AM

I think regular updating at a set time is best. Considering the list is at around 200 names, it takes up a lot of room everytime we update it now.

So I agree it is best to do it 2x @ month or hopefully 1x if there are no changes to make.

Hi Phil!

Just to be sure, didn't Schreiber die on 8.12.2008? At least, that's the date that Mark Yerger gave some pages back.

List Update - 11/03/09

Hey everyone,

I have been in contact with Simon who has agreed to do the update for the list on the first page. This way we don't have a ton of outdated posts.

That being said, I updated it with the latest information from Phil so it is effective as of: 11/03/09

Best wishes,
Andrew

Good job Andrew

Thank You

**Huntzman** · 11-10-2009, 11:50 AM

Thanks for the information. I have added it to the list and it will appear on the next update of the main of list on the main page.

One thing to ask of those who participate in providing names & information, in the future please don't attach the list quote the list. At 200 names, it takes up a lot of excess room on the thread. It also makes it easier for me to find the new information and do the updates.

Thanks !!!!!!!

one for the list Rudolf Kendler.

Hi,

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you have the spelling wrong for Arthur Bussecker (?), it should read 'Bussecke,' who won his RK as a Luftwaffe Unteroffizier in 2./FlakRgt.49 (Mot).

Phil

**Huntzman** · 11-10-2009, 06:21 PM

No the spelling of Büssecker is correct from what I can find:
