Hallo Steve,
Excuse
me please, if I have
at first some questions to
your last email.
Did you got the copy of
the "Christmas card" ?
There was to fear, that
there was too much bytes
for your
email-letter-box? But I
thought, that I take the
original format/size for
Your use. The next
question: What about "a
paragraph or two"? Do
You want some
information about my
father or a "license" to
publish the fotos.
About my father ones
more the important
facts:
My father Erich Reissmann
was born on 20th of
Nov.1925 and he
was 19 years old and as
a young soldier without
any combat mission he
became a prisoner of the
US-Army in January 1944,
when they came to Italy.
After stays in
Indianola (Nebraska),
Algona and Charles City
(Iowa) Fairmont, New Ulm
and St. Charles
(Minnesota), he came to
Camp Forrest in
Tullahoma (Tennessee)
from March 1945 till
February 1946.
After that he was
delivered to France and
there began a very hard
time for the German
prisoner.
Because of a "license":
My father permits You to
publish all documents
and he is deeply
stirred, that there is
so much interest today.
So - and now You get the
next foto as a
combination of some
littles. And there is
also my greatest
interest, to get the
address of the farmers
Speltz or Andersen in
Altura Minn.
I don't know, if it's
possible to get the
address by publishing
the fotos in a newspaper
of this region?
Then I send separate You
some other fotos - only
with a short comment.
Good luck!
Wolfgang
