And a picture from the Potsdam conference.
I know he was a former mayor but it might have been one of the other cities around Berlin. Daddy was visiting with him and his wife when they got word their Son had been captured by the British which of course was good news.
This guy's name is Wolfgang and I believe he is the former mayor of Potsdam. He was an amateur photographer and did all of my Father's film processing.
This is Fritz and Ingrid, two kids Daddy fed. The boy was responsible for my Father having a Luger pistol. Daddy simply asked him one day if he could get him a Luger. The kid took off and returned a couple of hours later with a bag containing a DWM 1917 Luger complete with holster and spare mag.
Slices of history, but with the stories not quite completely told.
Any idea where Fritz and Ingrid might be nowadays or how they're doing? There's likely a couple of very interesting stories there....
