Fascinating pictures! Please thank your friend for sharing them with us and assure him he has nothing to be ashamed of.

I'll have to dig out pics of my father in his Wehrmacht uniform & run them thru the copier to post here. He survived three years in Russia & being wounded there. I was always proud of him! He's 88 and lives North of Indianapolis.

Would love to see them! :-)

It would be really interesting to hear some of his stories. I’m about 1/4 of the way through “The Third Reich at War” and I’m beginning to understand how so many of the German people got caught up in the lies and propaganda. Very similar to some things happening today.

Just came back to the thread tonight and found your post about your father. Please, if you ever get the chance, count me in as one who would love to see your photos.
