    Here an example what my grandmother collected...

    its called Ehrentafel.

    every german village has a Ehrentafel. it shows the belligerent (war veterans) and fallen soldiers.

    Next two my grandfather is a picture from Heinrich Cohrs.

    Heinrich was a friend of my grandfather and lives in the neighbourvillage. He was Kradmelder during the war. Someday in 1944 in Russia, my grandfather walked trough the camp and someone calls loud "Wilhelm... Wilhelm" my Grandfather turns off and saw his friend Heinrich... they never have seen eachother during the war.

    Heinrich told him that he has to got to Germany next day and my grandfather gave him al letter for my grandmother...

    some days later Heinrich visited my grandmother and gave her the letter with best wishes from my grandfather.

    both.. Heinrich and my grandfather survived the war...
