Hi Sapper--I was rivited with your posting. I have heard of this happening before--only in the cases I heard about--they were told to me by Knights Cross Recipient Remy Schrijnen, who served in SS Sturmbrigade Langemarck.

He told me that there were several Americans that he had served with that were in his unit--which was an SS Anti-Tank unit stationed on the Eastern Front. What you said that the German/American prisoner said--is exactly what Remy told Susanne and myself--when we stayed with him for the day at his home in Hagen.

I'll be glad to tell you more of our visit if you want to know more--also if you ever want to write to him--let me know and his address will be yours.
