[AndreM]

thank you for all the great comments. much appreciated

[AndreM]

I have the question - Do we know where Herr Lotze was buried ?
As I understand the body was sent back to his family ?

Can anyone shed some light on this? Lessfinn do you perhaps have the answer?

These are the personnel files that I found on Lotze. I would appreciate it if someone could assist in translating the info for me.

THIS is the stuff we all collect for.. You wouldnt need another group if you had this one.. all warriors regardless of nationality felt the call to fight (and to die if necessary) when it was for the protection of their BAND OF BROTHERS.. safe at home doing his part for the fatherland but back to the front to a combat reunion... Would love to see an inside m 43 cap shot when you can..Also the love of a brother to cherish these things for 60 years probably TILL he died ..where ever they are I hope the 2 brother are again together... THANKS FOR SHARING !!! Billbert

Also wonderful to see this group by and large remains intact..not thrown into the trash..or scattered to the 4 winds at the flea markets!!
