I have been getting little bits of news from Larry. He writes these really cute 1 sentence updates - but only very occasionally. I get the impression that things are getting better. Thank goodness!
Now regarding Siegburg - have been working on things but slower than I want. I realize there is a clock and I could lose potential information by not working faster. Wish I could just dedicate full time to it - it is so compelling.
One gentleman that I found, we think was not at the Lazarett at Siegburg but at another 6G site. More conversations are necessary to totally confirm it - has been fascinating! He was wounded.
Another one of the gentlemen I found that was at the Lazarett - I tease that he was not there long enough because then he would of had more information to help me! He was moved on to other Camps. He has a great mind and is very articulate.
The great news is that I have a VMail from Dad to Mom during the period this man was at Siegburg. In the VMail Dad says 'and I am so busy caring for American wounded the time is just flying by ...' - I also tease the gentleman about this. He does not remember my Dad but I can confidently say that as of now there is only 1 in about 7 billion people that can claim that they have in writing that their Dad took care of him while at Siegburg. And of course, I will be thrilled to up the number from 1 if we get other documents, and that will still be one heck of a ratio.
All of these WW2 men, Siegburg related or not, are such a joy to know! Doing this research is such a privilege!
And another privilege is that I got to know Larry and Christoph and Marion!
