    1. Hello Glenn;

      You were recommended to me as a great source for information and photos on German generals. 

      Are there any photos of Major-General Ernst Roessler?  

      He was an Oberst in 1912 with IR of Voigts-Rhetz #79(3rd Hanover) and reached the rank of Major General by WWI.  

      Please feel free to PM me.

      Thank you,

      Claudius

        Hi Claudius,

        unfortunately at this moment in time I do not have an image of General Roessler. Should I acquire one, I will of course pass it on to you.

        Regards

        Glenn

        Hello Glenn;

        Thank you for looking!  As I said, you came recommended as a great source on German Generals.  If you don't have him, then I can understand that it's likely there isn't any publicly available sources that has a photo of him.

        Thank you again for looking.

        Regards,

        Claudius

    2. Back from the digital desert...and maybe that's not a good thing.  It's nice to be cut off from the net collective and only experience the nature and people that are right there in front of you.

    3. It rubs me the wrong way to sell items from my collection, but if they are redundant or don't fit I have to let them go. I don't even remember how much I paid for them, but if a dealer has the comprable item for less, I'll beat that price. More items to come...

    4. I might be getting familiar with the new computer and OS. In the meantime, I have three medal bars to show; A Schwarburg-Sondershausen (5) medal, German recipient with a Romanian and Swedish Olympic awards and finally a medal bar that I had before but with a new development.

    5. I've been away and my computer crashed. I tried to revive it with new parts but it couldn't be resuscitated. (7 is 110 in human years). I’m still getting my new one broken in, but when I’m able I hope to photograph and narrate on three (3) Imp. German medal bars.

        nope. the new computer is buggy. back to the store for another solution. There is a disquieting similarity to Henry VIII and his wives.

        new computer, new OS and now some old photos and documents to retrieve. <<<fingers crossed>>>

    6. Returning after a brief haitus.

    7. Oktoberfest beer is 35 pc more expensive this year than in 2012 at € 9.85 per Maß.

        Thanks...it was leaking problems. But nothing that money couldn't fix :P

    9. I'm back from the "Wilderness" of central California and you will be glad to know that the USS Pampanito looks pretty good for a 70 year boat.

        Thanks Nick. Yes, that is the Pampanito. And those are better photos than mine.

        habemus papam Francisco. I like.

    13. Why is it that we want our sports heroes to retire while they’re still on top, while we want our Popes to reign until they die?

    14. Back and firing on all four cylinders....

        just a touch of the virus going around. I'm back on solid foods.

    15. Just getting over the flu. What's the past tense of "flu"? "Flown"? Ugh...I’m still not flying right here.

        Mervyn Mitton

        You must be a 'fluite' - ring a bell to warn everyone.......

        I'm certain the past tense is "flucked"

    16. The recent events at Sandy Hook have left me deeply saddened.

    17. Christmas is for children. All of us children.

    18. Back from a family vacation -visiting the coastline and islands of the largest (by surface area) freshwater lake in the world.

        You are correct. And thanks for the welcome back.

    19. For three weeks now I’ve been trying to find an invisible (to me anyway) enemy in my computer. With consecutive anti-virus scans I think I’m clean. However, some of my programs have been damaged and need to be either repaired or re-installed.

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        going on four. Clean, but some programs are still damaged.

      2. Claudius

        may it's time for a new computer.

        if it was a horse I could just shoot it...sell the meat to a dog food cannery and then get a new pony.

    20. At least my Latin is better...

    21. That really tears it. They can already read faster than me as I read upside-down. (They read the book on the table and I sit across and follow along upside-down.) But my younger child corrected my German pronunciation. Either I learned it wrong or they are being taught a different dialect.

    23. I woke up today feeling great. Not feeling Gold -better than that. I feel like PLATINUM!

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        Update -Supplemental: It has been brought to my attention that Platinum prices have been trailing Gold for some time now, but the sentiment expressed earlier is still the same.

    24. RIP -Steve Jobs
