Gentlemen,
after my grandmother passed away last month I had to go from Austria back to Germany to assist my mother and aunt in administrating the heritage.
As you can imagine a long life (she was 87) brings along many photos and many other belongings.
To make it short: I found hundreds of photos, documents, books and other memorabilia from 1800 – 2011 and didn’t manage to sort it all, yet. Of course I need to go back to Austria for work and blabla but here are some of the most important photos, starting with the most important picture, the picture that started it all 16 years ago when my father saw it and commented: “Your grandfather was in the SS!”
I like to share them with you (and the other photos later, sry...) because my grandfather was more like a father to me then my "real" father was and I am very proud of what he taught me and his attitude towards life. Always "in action", working in the workshop, in the woods, on the house, garden etc. Never complaining about anything. "Why complain about something you can change? Just change it if you don´t like it!"
So, to honor him, the first photos of... many:
