John Burchell Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Nice posting, Bob, which spurs me to add to yours for the interest of fellow forum members.My German friend, Wilhelm Weier, who served under General Ramcke in North Afrika and was a close personal friend of his during and following the war up until the General's death, has a copy of the same book personally signed and dedicated to him. While he did not want to part with his own copy, he did give me this post-war edition of "Der Landser-Grossband 101" which features General Ramcke that also contains a personal dedication from him. They were hunting buddies and my friend, who was the only German licensed to guide for big game in Canada at the time, once brought him to Canada for a hunt.Regards,John
