Greetings all -

I have a very goodly amount of Luftwaffe and a smaller amount of panzer material that I would like to share, but, according to my son, the computer wiz ( jokingly I say ), he states that we need some more help to run our own url's to do so.

If that is the case then, perhaps I can email Volkbert directly and have him post some for me.

Is there ever a chance that we might be able to post pics directly from our computers on to this forum with out going the "url" route.

My apologies in advance if my terminology is in error, as I am no student of computers. I know just enough on how to get them going, and when I run afoul of them, my first initial response is, "where's the boy"?

Bill

I know the feeling. When my father or mother have a problem with the computer, they always turn to me for help.

Leiber Herr General -

WeiBen Sie das unsere familie wahren auch von Deutschland? Bei Hamburg. Meine groBeltern, mutter, und onkel wahren im Deutschland geboren, und dann fahren Sie noch hier als Amerika. Meine groBvater hatten einen onkel das wohnen hier bei
Washington State, und wenn das kreig zu ende kommen, und meine groBvater wahren nicht mehr kreigsgefangener bei dem Russiche gouvernment, dann sagen meine groBmutter zu dem familie das Sie muBen nicht mehr in Deutschland leiben, und noch mal in Amerika.

Ich wahren das ersten groBkind das hier in Amerika geboren ist. Und ich bin auch der einige von vier groBkindern das hatten interesse fur unsere familien historie.

Ja, Herr General, hoffentlich konnen Sie jetzt noch meine schreiben auf deutsch verstanden. Ich habe nicht zu viele familien das leiben noch das kann ich mit deutsch sprechen oder schreiben, und ich weiB, das ich habe veile grammatische verkehr gemacht. Entschuldigen mich bitter fur diesen verkehr.

Mit freundlichen gruBen,

Bill

Greetings -

I was just attempting to practice on my rusty German with the General. Hopefully I did not butcher it up too badly. I informed the general of my family having originated in Germany, and then moving to the United States after the war.

Respectfully to all,

Bill

Ah, Friedrich, young chap - reminds me of the story about US troops about to attack the Siegfried Line being told that the bunkers were manned by 'sick old men'.

After coming under fierce MG42 fire, one GI commented bitterly that ' They may be sick old men but they sure as hell can still pull triggers and shoot bullets !' [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Volkbert is a good guy to turn to--he's posting my stuff here already. I think I noticed you saw them already [img]smile.gif[/img]

And I don't think your German is veri schlecht--mein ist.

Vielen Dank, Smith! Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut! Ich war in Köln, Deutschland geboren aber ich habe in Mexiko für vier Jahre gewohnt.
Es ist gut, daß du bist hier!

Wiedersehen!

Martin, Martin... pulling a trigger is no big deal... But what did they do when they had to run away?
