It's that man again - very much worth a read/watch: German veterans of Verdun (World War 1) – Video interviews | Gott mit uns! German Military History 1848-1945
Finally sat down tonight to have a good watch of the videos. Adam thankyou very much for sharing the link brilliant is all i can say. Regards Michael
Agree. They are fantastic, like all of Von Poops finds. I almost spit my coffee out at the 3:55 mark of Ernst Weckerling's interview though. He he just spent the previous three and a half minutes describing what a hell on earth it was and then he says, 'Still we were happy and in a good mood' He said they were happy because he thought the war would be over soon but it still made me think of Monty Python.
Don't thank me - thank the chap who put it together. I know there's a few of us banging on a bit, but dig into his Blog. Exceptional, and very much 'How it should be done' I feel.
