Dear Rob, hello, I wonder if you might be able to help me! I'm an author from the UK who has written a book about an amazing 100-year-old British Bletchley Park Girl, called Rena Stewart. I came across your brilliant site as I was looking for photos of some of the people that feature in her story. The person in question was a German, Wilhelm Zander. Rena was sent out to Germany just after the war, to work as a translator in a prisoner of war camp. While she was there, she was also asked to translate a top-secret document, which turned out to be Hitler's personal will. Wilhelm Zander (you may remember) was one of the three messengers tasked by Hitler, before he killed himself, with escaping the bunker and taking the wills to safety. They were later all captured and the story came out. There are two photos from your page on Wilhelm Zander that I'd like to use, but I'm not sure who owns the copyright, or if you're able to give permission. One is the profile photo that you've used for him; the other is the one of him turned to one side, under the heading 'Death and burial ground of Zander, Wilhelm'. I'd be grateful if you could let me know if you can give permission, or who I could apply to if not.
Thank you and best wishes
Victoria Walsh

Hello, in your article about BURK KARL there is a photo published where he is photographed together with HELMUT BARTHELMES. Please could you provide me with this photo in better resolution. The role of SS-Ostubaf Bathelmes is also connected to the history of our town at the very end of the war. Unfortunately I have not been able to get a photo of him anywhere. I would be very grateful to you.

This is a question. I will soon commence writing a new book on the 5th Battalion Grenadier Guards in Tunisia and Italy during WWII. I will be donating my royalties as author to the Grenadier Guards' benevolent fund, so will not profit from this book personally. I am currently making notes on German General, Fritz-Hubert Gräser, and wondered whether you might permit me to use his photo from your website in the book? I just had a book 'DD Sherman Tank Warriors' published by Pen & Sword, and again I've given my royalties to the regiment's charity.
Many thanks

It appears I am a distant relative of Gerlach Hans Hemmerich. I have his ears and a few other features indicating we are related. There is a striking family resemblance. He died about 5 months before I was born.
I applaud your efforts to preserve history Sir. Good, Bad, both otherwise, history should be accurately preserved - lest we forget.

Beste, ik wil even melden dat er een foutje in uw website zit.
Het is ivm de crash van een Engelse bommenwerper die door Helmut Woltersdorf werd neergeschoten is neergestort in Lichtaart in de Antwerpse Kempen. Er staat trouwens een gedenkplaat.
Waarschijnlijk is die beschoten boven Bocholt in België, in de plaats van Bocholt Duitsland.

I am Dutch and came across this site through a Google search on Hitler's sexual orientation. The abundance of historical information often obscures the genuine stories of the war. I find your findings particularly intriguing as they are presented without the usual propaganda. Towards the end of my reading, I realized that you are also Dutch, like myself. I sincerely appreciate the effort you've put into creating this insightful document and want to express my gratitude.

Dear Mr. Hopmans,
this is a very interesting Website and I was on it for a very long time, thank your for that great work and all the details!! May I ask you to check the pictures of the widow of the horrible judge Roland Freisler, Marion Freisler-Russegger. There are three pictures and I am pretty sure, that the third one on the right side is not a photo of Marion Freisler but a photo of Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, who was together with her friends part of the organisation of 20th of july and after the war a member of the group of editors of "ZEIT", a german newspaper. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Nelli Inka

Dear Rob,
Visited Invalidenfriedhof in Berlin last week and looking at your photo and the information found claiming Heydrich was in section C. However, I noticed in your photo which is in section A I think from memory or at least on the right as you enter through the main gate - not the one south where Todt's grave marker used to be they have removed that. My question is....are you really at Heydrich's grave? I found the kerb stone and the tome in front of the double monument with the helmets on which is exactly where you are kneeling. The other part - section C does not resemble where you are - but it is quoted as where Heydrich is. Can you explain?

I found a photo of my late father, Josef Schleifstein (1915-1992), on your page dedicated to the wellknown little boy Joseph (born 1941) who had survived the Buchenwald concentration camp.
My father had been living in Leipzig until 1935 and then emigrated to Britain via Prag and returned to Germany after the war.
The foto I am talking about (the one you should remove) is the last one in your article, just before the "END".
Your website is very appealing!

I just read your profile on Melitta Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg. You say she is buried with her husband Alexander, but the photo on the gravestone doesn't list his name. I just finished a book titled "The Women Who Flew for Hitler" and this says Alexander is buried in Upper Bavaria with his second wife Marlene Hoffman.

Hello, I'd just like to point out an error in your story of the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican. There is a photograph of Ludwig Koch who is described as the head of the neo-Fascist Italian police in Rome. However, your photo is of the wrong Ludwig Koch. The photo depicts my grandfather, Ludwig Koch the bird song recordist, who was actually a German Jew and a socialist. It would be great if you could remove his picture - he would have been heart-broken to have been described as a fascist.
Many thanks!

Hey Rob,
Pretty neat site! You obviously have a lot of personal and family history included here as well as a whole bunch of other research you've added.
Just one comment, however, I've read a TON of WWII books and can pick out quite a few spots where you've simply copied and pasted some. The end of "A Bridge Too Far" being particularly blatant. It would be worth it to at least cite those other authors instead of passing their work off as your own.
Cheers

I enjoy your website and the accuracy of your information. Am writing an historical novel on late 1930s and want to verify a story that Fritz Braun described when AH met him and his wife for lunch the first time, AH was so nervous he put so much sugar in Franziska's tea, the water overflowed. There is a citation that Fritz Braun was interviewed by the San Francisco Examiner Oct 17, 1948 in which this is cited. I went back and read the entire newspaper and did not find it. I also looked at Ot 17, 1949. Do you know anything about this? Thank you. Dr. Alan Winter

Hello,
Very interesting site and information about James Arness. One mistake I observed is you have the incorrect age for Peter Graves death. He was born: March 18, 1926, and died: March 14, 2010. So, that would make his 83 at his death, not 93.

Hello Rob,
You have been researching current affairs for many years and your page is filling up. The pages are informative, well structured and valuable. But what bothers me a lot and just doesn't work is to use pictures from other websites like mine without asking. This is a no- go and you should refrain from doing it, because otherwise we all run the risk that no one would like to present anything on their own website. Please think about this carefully in the future.
Best regards

I love your website as immense interesting but lately I found mistake on it In section devoted to Col. Kaminski - Russian RONA renegate you say he was buried on Powqzki cemetery in Warsaw which is totally untrue The man buried there had the same name, but died in September 1939 during defense Warsaw against Germans. Kaminski from RONA would have never been buried on Powazki as it is honorary place and Kaminski as enemy of Poles could not find his resting place there I don’t where Kaminski from RONA is buried, but for sure it’s notbPowazki cemetery

Hi
The picture you are using in the Dr. Death story, is not of him but of Fredrik Jensen, a Norwegian and former SS Obersturmführer. It seem a little misleading.

Thank you for the information on General Karl Strecker. We came across a memorial to him by the 79th Inf Div at the German war cemetery near Weisskirchen (Hunsrueck). I think you've got a great website here given the width of your interest there is bound to be some issues of contradiction etc. But well done! Francis, Gosport, England.

I have a 5 minute video that describes my research on the Buchenwald concentration camp, Ilsa Koch, Lampshades made of human tattooed skin, I am a amateur researcher in my 25th year doing research on Buchenwald .
Google the following you will see some interesting things relating to my research. (Holocaust Tattooed Skins of the Concentration Camp) I am trying to find someone who would be interested in taking all my research material and publishing a book on my research. Dokfilm of Germany made a documentary of my research and the many tattooed skins I found in Federal Government vaults in Washington DC and other places.
The film is called Shadows of Silence ). It has been playing on German television. I am trying to find any living children, relatives of Ilsa Koch.
Thank You

I can't find anywhere to contact you directly so here would be the only option.
In the 12TH Panzer-SS Division Hitlerjugend page the very first photo is 100% a Reenactor photo, I know so because I follow one of the lads on Instagram.

Hallo,
your article
"German submarine U-864" from
"01-06-2017" shows not U-864, but the British submarine HMS Venture!
Perhaps you can correct it please.

Walter Lwowski , grandson of General List is the man in your gravesite picture. I lived w/ he and his family the summer of 1968. It was a Volkswagen Cultural Exchange program and his sister lived w/ my family in Ann Arbor , Michigan USA at the same time I was in Braunschweig. I would love to get in touch w/ him again if possible by email or an address if you can help. I even have a picture of the family and I with General Wilhelm List taken in Garmish Partenkirshin that wonderful summer!( I was 17 yrs old and Walter was 19.)
Anything you can do to help is so appreciated. I read German History a lot that was awakened from that eye opening summer! Thank you & Best Wishes,

Dear Mr Hopmans, Found the picture of List Lwowski family gravesite and the man in the picture might be Walter Lwowski, the grandson of Field Marshall Wilhelm List . In the summer of 1968 I lived for 2 months w/ the Lwowski family(his mother was Wilhelm List' daughter) and his sister Steffi lived w/ my family for 2 months in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. It was a Volkswagen Cultural exchange program.We had lost touch w/ addresses after getting married and I was wondering if there is any way for you to help me find Walter Lwowski email or present address. I would love to make contact again! It was such a wonderful summer & experience for me.
I have a photo book from the family w/ many pictures of Walter & family from that summer.. And I have one w/ the family and General List all together in Garmish Partinkirshin too. I am quite sure that is Walter in your picture at the gravesite. Please write back with any information you can give me.
Thank you so very much.

Just wanted to commend you again,Rob, as when I first started using your site,it was for locating German general's gravesites. Now I realize how much more you have : Hindenberg. the Kaiser, Ludendorff, Schleiker, von Papen and other non military people around Hitler. Your site is a real history treasure for people ( like me ) interested In German history during and before the Third Reich till we meet again, Rob Bill

Hi Rob- My mother was from Drunen and Dad from Haarsteeg. Immigrated in 1949 to Minnesota where I and my six siblings were born and raised. Neither of my parents were not storytellers, and it seems, put those years behind them. What a wonderful gift you give in memory of so many who lived (and died) during "The War". Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the great work, really appreciate it and I visit very often your website. It is also very often that after a visit in a city I notice I have missed a famous grave. If you could add a section where people could sort the deads by location it would be even more great.
e.g.
you click on Frankfurt/Main location and you will see displayed all the famous people burried there.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate your work.

Please tell me if any of the Kumetz or Kummetz names in your German collection have family histories or DNA collected that could compare to my Kumetz/Kummetz history in USA. I'd like to know where my Kummetz family comes from in Germany. I live in Nebraska in the USA. My family has been in the USA since the 1870's. Ilowo is a possible location as well as Kallwin as I search but find no evidence of relation to me.

Congratulations for your excellent and much needed documentary work. It would be very interesting to find out some information about the armies of other nationalities that fought at Stalingrad under the leadership of General Paulus. I am very interested in General Constantin Bratescu who was the leader of the Romanian forces. I got to know him in Romania after he was liberated from 5 years spent in Soviet prisoner camps. I would appreciate very much any information you could send me. Thank you, and sincere congratulations for your excellent work.

Hi there
FYI, I went to Yasukuni Shrine on my recent trip to Tokyo and tried to find Tojo's grave (amongst actual fun stuff) . I never found it and after many hours of googling I finally got to the bottom of it. I thought Id pass on what I found.
There are no remains/ashes at Yasukuni Shrine. His official grave is Zoshigaya cemetery.
"But if you ask Japanese people where Tojo is buried, most of them would mistakenly say the Yasukuni Shrine. Tojo and other Class-A war criminals are ***ENSHRINED*** [my highlight] in Yasukuni, which commemorates Japan’s 2.47 million war dead. But no remains or ashes are kept there. The shrine only has name plates of the dead. But Yasukuni enshrines those people as “gods.” In other words, Yasukuni is not a grave. Many Japanese consider it a national religious facility and memorial. "
So I found a legit photo of his grave and one mentioned Zoshigaya cemetery. After a some photo interp (trees, background buildings, sun direction etc) I found it https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7236158,139.7185968,3a,38.5y,-2.41h,95.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHqtzcLW5N6XsQ9jWo72wqQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Look down aisle 1,1,13 and you'll see what looks like a pizza oven three graves from the road. That's it.
I'm glad I went to Yasukuni Shrine and not the cemetery as the shrine was an experience. The cemetery looks pretty nondescript.
Thanks to your website for the spark to go on this search.

This is the GREATEST site ever!!! Thank you SO MUCH for putting so much work into this site...it's truly incredible. I am fascinated with WWII history. I could spend the rest of my life reading about it, looking at pictures, etc. My favorite book is The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. I've read that book 4 times. I became interested in WWII history at an early age. My grandfather (basically my father) and his 2 brothers were stationed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attached. One of his brothers was in the brig lol. As for myself, I'm 48 and served 6 years in the US Navy (USS Lake Champlain CG-57) stationed in San Diego, CA. I served 1 tour during the Persian Gulf War. Thanks a TON...love this site!

Love the website and respect for your hard work and dedication.
In the section you have about SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hans Kammler I have some additional information. According to a recent book on Kammler - The Hidden Nazi: The Untold Story of America's Deal with the Devil by Dean Reuter - Kammler did not die at the end of WW2 as you write but was in U.S. custody for 8-9 months after the war. The authors spent 20 years researching Kammler and the book is heavily referenced with some 63 pages of primary archive document sources from Europe and the U.S. In the book they present U.S. government documents which they obtained under the freedom of information act proving definitively that Kammler was in U.S. custody until Feb/march '46 pending extradition to Great Britain. He was held by the same U.S. C.I.C unit which handled Klaus Barbie. The story of Kammler's suicide is a fabrication. In total there were 13 accounts of his death - each given by men who served under him - and each an attempt to muddy the waters of his true fate.

Hallo
Die Verherrlichung dieser Menschen ist vor dem Hintergrund dessen was in dieser Zeit geschah ist
fehl am Platz. Gerade hohe Dienstgrade haben oft ihren Stand missbraucht. Ich kann nur hoffen dass dies nicht für meinen biologischen Großvater zutrifft. Leider weiss ich nicht viel über diesen doch so hoch dekorierten Mann, auch ist sein verhalten gegenüber der Frau die er schwängerte und dann sie und ihren Sohn ihrem Schicksal über ließ nicht gerade ein Zeugnis für Integrität. Ganz zu schweigen von "soldatischer Ehre". Somit bleibt nur die Hoffnung dass er nicht auch eines dieser induvidien war welche massenhaft Kriegsverbrechen begangen haben.

Greetings Rob
Excellent research, I commend you !
It’d be interesting to see a similar article on Wolfram von Richthofen and his demise during the Hitler War.
Also, I do believe their was a Fokker D.VIII ace that went onto form his own Squadron of Bf109’s and became an ace in these (?) also.
Some years ago I read a book containing the death of Cobber Cain, the Kiwi Hurricane ace that was killed performing a barrel role when departing for England at the end of the phoney war. Members of the squadron had a found the graves of aviators from the Kaiser War near their airfield. Also went on to say that remnant aircraft were buried prior to the squadrons departure.
Thankee,

Although a Dane, I live in Sweden, and have had a special interest in the history of the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic. Although Denmark was liberated in may 1945, Bornholm was bombed and occupied by Sovjet forces right up until april 1946 - when the Ruskies finally went home.
Yours Respectfully, Torben Wulff

I visited your website very interesting and very detailed
I'm doing a volunteer, non-profit research to pay tribute to November 11, 2019
A resistance-deported woman in Germany who lived in our village of Robecq in France in the north and died in 1966.
He was in the Comète Line resistance network Franco-Belgian network he was passing pilots who were going back to Britain to take over the fight
My research allowed me to find a member of a HALIFAX shot near Bar-le-Duc
(Eastern France) its name SPILLER (see document)
I am also looking for information on the pilot of a Luftwaffe fighter who shot down Halifax
It is called GED FRIEDRICH (see document)
Maybe you can help me with your skills on these two pilots I am looking for documents and also photos for the upcoming November 11 exhibition including on the history of aircraft and photos of pilot graves
Well Friendly

Dear team,
my name is Alexander Hillmann, living in Germany/Nuremberg, dozent for history and mathematics. I am interested in the "historical" person with the name Erwin von dem Bach-Zelewski. On you webside i read his grave is in the City Roth. This city is only 20km from Nuremberg. I was there and wanted to visit this grave. There was no grave of him. Of course i asked in the townhall and also the chief of the cemetry there. But nobody could tell me the place.
Please, are you able to tell me more about the grave of this man? Many thanks for you and greeting to Neatherland; Alexander Hillmann

I am a student who is interested in WWII history and have been looking for a nice authentic honor ring for a while now. I looked up the name and ring but could not find anything on it, so I was wondering if you were in possession of it. Let me know? Thanks!
Best regards,

Thank you very much for your website posting on Mr. Peiper. This is a very informative web post and I learned a great deal about it from you. I think I may tour his last tank route in the battle of the Bulge. Also, his home in Travers France, if it is still there and the grave.

You have missed the 1st General lost in WWII. General Clarence Tinker he was the highest ranking NATIVE AMERICA killed in WWII.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_L._Tinker Major General Clarence Leonard Tinker (21 November 1887 – 7 June 1942) (Osage) was a career United States Army officer, the highest ranking Native-American officer and the first to reach that rank.[1] During World War II, he had been assigned as Commander of the Seventh Air Force in Hawaii to reorganize the air defenses.
He flew to lead a force during the Battle of Midway in June 1942; his plane went out of control and was lost in the ocean. He was the first U.S. Army general officer to be killed in World War II, and the second flag officer, after Rear Admiral Issac C. Kidd. Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is named in his honor.

BRIGADIER GENERAL LAVERNE G. SAUNDERS is not correct of listed in your posting for WWII.
https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/105711/brigadier-general-laverne-g-saunders/
LaVerne G. (Blondie) Saunders began fighting as a pilot in World War II at Hickam Field in Hawaii the day Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese in 1941. In the months that followed, he fought them from the air, at Midway, in the Solomons and on Guadalcanal. In 1944 he conducted the first land-based air attack on Japan -- the beginning of the B-29 campaign that brought that country to its knees.

The second photo I was talking about doesn‘t show my husband’s grandfather Hans Rauch but ERWIN Rauch (born 1889 in Berlin). We now found out (if you google „Erwin Rauch“ you‘ll find the exact same photo). So please remove that photo from the „Hans Rauch“- site.
Thank you 🙂

Hi,
I have a question about Hans Rauch, Generalmajor (born 1899 in Rothwasser). He is my husband‘s grandfather and we saw the photos you put here. The first portrait picture is familiar to us. However, we have never seen one right below that one. Are you sure it shows Hans Rauch? Do you know when it was taken? Where did you get that photo from? Unfortunately, we only have very few pictures of him so we were really surprised to see this one. Thank you in advance!

You need to make a correction. On the subject of Adolf Hitler‘s teeth you have shown pictures of supreme court justice Elaine Kagan These two pictures of ms Kagan showing her is not correct. Ms Lange was born April 28 1960. She would be 58 years old. You should show her mother

Good evening,
My father was a Polish Pilot flying with the Polish sector of the RAF during WW2. He flew a Wellington Bomber and was shot down over Holland on the 19th June 41. I have recently found out he was shot down by Egmont Prinz zur Lippe-Weisenfeld. My father lived and returned to the UK where he had a family and was happy. Prinz Egmont was killed in 1944 with no family at the age 25. They were both young men doing there job, I ask myself who won? What is the cemetry that Ergmont is buried? I have my fathers memoirs if you are interested.kind regards Krystyna

Thank you for this site. I am honorably labeled, as many others, as a C.O.W.-Child of Wonder (it's a wonder the Five-O-Wonders made it out of the B.O.B.. My father was a through and through Taccoa man and fought from June 6th 1944-Jan. 10th 1945 when he was gravely injured by a tree burst. I attended a few reunions and met the most amazing men who helped me learn of his plight. I actually met Medic Dave Tuel on top of Stone Mtn, where he gave me 3 photos of my father, and where I was able to actually thank the man for saving my fathers life. This was a surprise meeting, for me, set up by Glen Derber, Carleton Raiford, Ray Tayer, Medic Ken Moore and Medic "Mother" Joe Madigan and respectively, their wives. What an amazing crowd right? My father was SSgt Russell Johncox LMG HQ2 501 PIR/101st Airborne. I am very proud of him. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful site!

Iga
Ignacy Jan Paderewski - his activity to draw the attention of the world to the restitution of Poland is missing. He was also a member of Polish National Committee in 1917 with Roman Dmowski (Woodrow Wilson 14 points speech; point no 13) and was engaged into relief actions to help the victims of the WWI. One of his speeches gave fuel to successful Wielkopolskie Uprising in January 1918 which freed that region from German rulers. On the margin - please correct - it's ""Paderewski" not "Paderowski" : ) I fully appreciate your iniciative. Good job! All the best, Iga from Poland.
Ps. My grandpa's uncle, Walenty Górecki, ran a large department store in Poznań during WWII. He helped, among others, the poor, members of the Polish Home Army (resistance movement, highly organised) and English parachuters (e.g. he distributed forged passports). He was taking care of my grandpa and they lived together with a German speaking maid. One day, two man clad in heavy black coats, came for him. One of his workers reported on him to gestapo. Uncle Kazimierz wanted to avenge him, but someone was quicker (uncle Kazmimierz, then aged 17 and carrying a loaded pistol, found that scum lying on the staircase with a hole in his head). Uncle Walenty was imprisoned, tortured, and (surprise!) released after around 5 months of brutal interrogation. He was a wreck of a man and suffered of pneumonia. He died before the end of the WWII, in 1944. Grandpa, then a 5-year-old child, still remembers that night when they took his angel -like uncle. Painful memory... One of many.

Mocht u hulp kunnen gebruiken met de editing van uw site zou ik dat graag doen... Er zijn nl bepaalde mensen die aan elkaar gekoppeld zijn en een verwarrend geheel leveren.....Ondertussen was Eisenhower alleen een desk general die nooit a slagveld heeft gezien. Hij was een disaster and lag constand overhoop met George Patton...Montgomery was de UK's disaster, not to mention Churchill die nooit een oorlog zag waar hij niet van hield. Rumors zijn dat Patton was killed door Eisenhower....
Ik woon al 55 jaar in the VS en ben goed bekend met de geschiedenis.
Iedere oorlog in Europa sedert 1870 werd gecrieerd door de UK/Frankrijk en de VS tegen Duitsland. Het doel was om Duitsland op te breken. En dat is nog steeds zo. Nederland werd in 1940 binnengevallen omdat de Duitse inlichtingen informatie hadden dat door een van de 3 landen Nederland/Belgie of Frankrijk de Engelsen het Continent en daarna Duitsland zouden aanvallen. En dat intelligence was spot-on want een paar dagen later stonden er 370.000 Engelse/geallieerden op het strand in Dunkirk. Deze zijn geevacueerd.
Geen van deze oorlogen ontstonden door Duitsland alhoewel er tich aantal pretexten werden genoemd. Duitsland heeft EEN maal Nederland gebombardeerd en dat was in Rotterdam op 14 Mei 1940..Ik zelf heb 3 firebombings overleeft in de Achterhoek door Amerika. 35 ander steden in Nederland werden gebombardeerd door Amerika. De RAF vloog iedere nacht over ons huis op weg naar Duitsland. Zij vlogen alleen s'nachts. De Amerikanen vlogen in daylight. Dat is algemeen bekend alhoewel de zogenaamde historicy in Nederland zelfs in de achterhoek, zonder enig bewijs vast houden dat the RAF ons bombardeerde. Niet zo. Ik zag iedere bomb vallen. Mijn Amerikaanse dochter die haar thesis schreef omtrent WW2 Propaganda leerde dat the geallieerden de oorlog niet gewonnen hadden maar de Sovjets.
De geallieerden kwamen voor de opruim aktie nadat de Sovjets de Duitse Wehrmacht en Luftwaffe hadden verwoest.
In deze nu ouwe vrouw leeft nog altijd oorlogs kind. En bij tijd en wijle troost deze nu ouwe vrouw dat kleine kind dat boos is op diegene die de oorlogen crieerden vanwege hebberigheid. Ik ben de geallieerde niet dankbaar maar ik klaag hen aan voor het crieeren van deze oorlogen waardoor ik jaren lang naar een gebombarderde school moest. The oorlogen zijn symptomen, en men moet leren wat de ziekte is die deze symptomen veroorzaakt.
Om de Amerikanen of Engelsen dankbaar te zijn voor wat zij zelf begonnen en ons land hebben verwoest, komt bij mij niet op. Het getuigd van een soort indoctrinatie waar geen klap van deugd.
Ik bewonder uw uitgebreide geschiedenis.

Dear Mr. Hopmans,
my name is Michael Muck and I´m from germany living near Aschaffenburg (225 km away from Frankfurt am Main). I found your website during I search for the name Warren H. Muck. It is an interesting coincidence, because I surfed at youtube webside, searching for good film musik and I found a video from the film bands of brothers. In the closing credits I read the name Warren H. Muck and I thought to myself is it possible that this guy a relation of mine? I´m 42 yo and my grandfahter died few years ago. So I called my father if he knows about the name Warren H. Muck and he told me no, he did not know about a family living in the US. Few years ago I asked my grandfather to the WW2 but I got no many statments. As I know he was a german soldier, a dispatch rider, and he had to fight in the east and in Stalingrad, too. He got a shot into his left knee so he stayed in Bamberg in an improviesed lazarett, during the kettle of Stalinggrad was closed. He gave us no statements to the horror of WW2. Shortly before his death he only told to our retired priest because he had hughe fear to die with his weigth of war.
I know in fact of data protection it is not allowd to gave personal datas to an unknown person, but if you have any hints for me regarding to Warren H. Muck I'd be much obliged. I´m not a Nazi and I´m not interessted in guns or something like that. I´m only interessted in if I had or have relatives in the US. I´m looking forward hearing from you via e-mail.
P.S. You have a great webpage with many interessting details.
Best regards
Michael Muck

My uncle was Karlfreider Schumacher from Heidelberg, Germany and he flew with G. Rall with the 52nd All I want to know is if he was mentioned in Mr. Rall"s Logbook. Karl was shot down in May 1944 I think.

Heinrich Hoffman took a photo of Adolf Hitler at the same building in fromelles as Hitler once painted. That’s a fact.

Hallo,
ik woon in België en ga jaarlijks op bezoek bij vrienden in de Lüneburger Heide in Duitsland (in de driehoek tussen Bremen Hannover en Hamburg). Reeds jarenlang heb ik ook een sterke interesse in WOII. Net zoals u heb ik het graf van von Manstein & von Blaskowitz bezocht. Ik ben echter nog op zoek naar andere graven in die streek waar mijn Duitse vrienden wonen. Kan u me hierbij helpen aub ?
Alvast bedankt en met vriendelijke groeten, Koen.

Great website.
The photo of Capt. Robert H. Shannon who was the pilot on the B-24 Liberator bomber Hot Stuff is incorrect and the photo of Hot Stuff burning is also incorrect. Rescuers did not arrive at the crash site until 24 hours after the crash and the fire was out by then.
You can view a video of the story of the B-24 Hot Stuff and Lt. Gen. Frank M. Andrews at the following website:

I enjoyed visiting your site. Keep up the good work.

I just aquired a 1st Model Luftwaffe Presentation dress dagger. Manufactured by Paul Weyersberg. Engraved with gold wash. "Zur erinnerung an Deine kameraden" " Den berrn Oberleutnant zu Lippe Weissenfeld." Such a rare and singular find.

Dear Rob,
It has now been a few weeks since I found your website. I continue to be an avid reader. I ran acrossed the stories of your close association with members of the 101st Airborne. I am very impressed and touched with your gratitude for their sacrifices liberating your town. An uncle that I never met died during the Battle of the Bulge. Plus at least one other uncle who fought and survived the war. Please keep up the good work keeping these memories alive. Just an idea but you might want to consider writing a book based on the huge amount of research that you have done which is extremely impressive. If you do write that book I want a first edition signed copy!

My wife and I have travelled from Hamilton Ontario Canada to take part in the liberation ceremonies. We are staying with my daughter and her family. We were deeply moved by the ceremonies that took place and will always remember those who lost their lives to this horrid war.

Geachte,
aangezien jullie blijkbaar toch de specialisten ter zake zijn, richt ik me hierbij tot jullie. Kennen jullie de namen van de RK-Träger die aanwezig waren op de begrafenis van Sepp Dietrich? Uit de beschikbare foto's haal ik maar een paar namen: Hausser en Bittrich worden gevolgd door twee RK-Träger. Bij de kist zelf draagt Macher het Ordenskissen en staan onder meer: Schäfer, Ullrich, Stenwedel en Bochmann. Een tweetal andere kan ik echter niet benoemen. Weten jullie soms meer? Alvast hartelijk bedankt!
Hoogachtend,
Jo Van Bever
