Hoss Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I managed to spend some moments with my friend Gus couple of weeks ago. Gus fought on the Eastern Front with the Hermann Göring Division as a MG42 gunner. He's a wonderful old boy 91yrs young. He was kind enough to give me a couple of photos one is while on leave April '44 with his family. Cheers
Paul R Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Great stuff. Thank you and your friend for sharing. Was he an aircraft mechanic before going into the HG? Notice the trade badge on the lower photo.
Hoss Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Hi Paul I'll ask him. may call him up he was 'lucky' got wounded during the retreat early '45. Eric
Jock Auld Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Eric, Are you sure he is not a copy, LOL! Good to see the old boys regardless of which side, I hope he has another 30 years! Best Regards!
