Werner Wendt - s. SS Pz.Abt.501? He passed away in 2005. -
So it is sad information for me. Several members of our club met him in La Gleize about 1 year before his death.

I know, I was there having an interview with Wendt and afterwards we stumbled on the group in front of the Tiger II. It was November 2003 and you can see me in one of the images. The next time I met Wendt was in June 2004. He was very disappointed in all those who wrote him and wanting something from him but never ever send any appreciation or even a simple 'Thank you', so he decided to call it a day....Comment

Indeed, I also remember that meeting with Wendt. Jochen and I had a meeting with Wendt and all over sudden these reenactors showed up at the end of our meeting. I was very annoyed when one of the reenactors turned out to be a "fellow" Dutchman who, upon realizing that we were Dutch too, greeted us with "Houzee" (the NSB - Dutch national-socialsts greeting) and immediately started to tell me that "Malmédy" is a lie and that "the British placed the bodies of Americans fallen in combat there to blacken the Waffen-SS". Shows to me that a number of SS reenactors are far from a-political (as they often pretent to be) and I was glad that I got rid of him as soon as possible. All-in-all I was very glad that Wendt helped me with my research, confirming some of the corrections I made to errors in earlier interviews Wendt gave.Originally posted by Jochen S. View PostComment
