    Meeting a German Soldier

    How can I meet a German WWII vet? I live in Colorado if this helps.

    Maybe you can place an advertisement in your local newspaper. It might help.

      This may or may not help but some of them did move here to start a new life after the war. Some changed their names. Your best bet is to make some contacts in Germany and then pay a visit. When I was stationed there a guy is my unit was married to a German girl whose father fought on the eastern front. He mentioned how cold it was. I think you will be shocked as western propaganda portrays these men as being cold blooded killers and that is very far from the truth. The impression I was left with were these were very noble and kind men doing their job. Yes, I am certain they had their bad apples but overall as a society the Germans are a very noble and intelligent people and they will go out of their way to help you.
