Big fan of both! I have many books on both camps. Great video! There is a great book on the British tracking down the Nazis responsible for the murders of the POWS. Thanks for the video, Mark in Milwaukee Wisconsin 🇺🇸

Ich bin stolz auf den Tag, an dem ich erfolgreich in BERLIN beerdigt/eingeäschert werde! Dort wird die Information stehen: "PERFEKTER EHEMANN, PERFEKTER VATER, PERFEKTER FREUND! Die Misserfolge, Fehler, Prüfungen und Mühen, die mich stärker gemacht haben, werden NICHT erwähnt worden sein! Ich bin genau wie alle anderen!
