My grandfather (father's side) was with the army during the Battle of the Bulge. While my Opa's(mother's side) brother (Uncle Hemm) was apparently Rommel's confidant and assistant. I realize this may be a controversial statement, but after reading about Rommel, he struck me as being a heck of a military leader. It's been wild to go through history books and see my Uncle Hemm in the photo's!!!! I can truly say my Leica has changed my life as I've become more interested in my family history and have been researching it voraciously since acquiring my Opa's camera. My grandfather was a friend of F.A. Porsche and apparently attended the same engineering school as he did. My opa worked as an engineer for the city of Heilbronn during the war and tried his best to keep the infrastructure from going kaput...ok, I'll shut up, I'm guessing from the lack of response to my posts that it would be better if I would just show some pictures! I promise I will when I get my camera back! all best, chris ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
