Well I made it through the 15 pages or so last night. It was pretty rough seeing all that have passed away in the last 11 months. Very sad indeed.
I am glad I missed the newbie drama a few months back. I did get the gist of the conversations through the replies. Some people just don't learn, or honestly just don't want to.....
Hopefully I can get the main page updated in the next few days.

Fritz Darges died on Sunday, 25 October 2009 aged 96.
Shortly before he died, reporters of the German newspaper BILD met with him in his house in Celle (Lower Saxony). In an artictle entitled "Hitlers letzter Adjutant tot" they write that he lived alone, his wife, a medical doctor having passed away three years ago. His state of health had declined, he did not hear well, he did not see well.
His mind was alert. His memory was alive.
Until his last breath he did not say a bad word about Adolf Hitler.
When Fritz Darges was asked whether he would do everything again as he had done, he replied: "Ja. Unser Traum war doch ein großdeutsches Reich.“ ("Yes. Our dream, after all, was a Greater German Empire.")
Fritz Darges wrote down his memoirs. They shall be published now after his death.
I met Fritz some years ago at the OdR JHV in Siegburg and have some wonderful memories and photos of that meeting , he told myself and a friend the famous " fly " story personally . During the meeting on the Friday afternoon Otto Gunsche arrived to see Darges and they had along conversation , oh to have been a fly on that wall !!!!
