I do not know the answer to that question; my information was that she and her mother were initially told he was dead. They were told this as after he evacuated by boat, the boat he was supposedly on was hit and sunk. It turned out later that he was not on the particular boat he was thought to have been, and was still alive. I do not know if they met after this discovery, as he died within a relatively short time after this discovery was made. I don’t have “hard and fast” evidence on this, but it comes from a reasonably knowledgeable source.

That is the same information I have. The reason behind my interest is that my Brother in law is a Dane who's father was German. At the time his mother went to school in Jutland which is Danish territory, but was forced to speak German.

I was told that children orphaned during the earlier campaigns in the eastern areas of Europe (excluding the USSR) were basically kidnapped and taken to Germany proper — if they fit a certain profile. This happened roughly from 1938 to 1945. These kids were re-educated and had to learn and speak German. In many cases they remained where they were and did not reunite with their biological families after the war.

Having to speak German, in their case, was just a small part of it. They do not know who they really are (biologically and culturally).

There is a bizarre story in Germany of a woman (who was of half African, half German descent, and she was a looker) who discovered her German parentage: from the Reich’s hierarchy. I believe a UK tv channel has part of story.

There is also a youtube video of Himmler’s niece speaking about being related to such a person. She seems ordinary in every sense.

UB; Got any pertinent info you'd like to share?
