    Hi there! :)
    Firts of all, sorry for my English grammar :eek:
    I am a Marine Biologist which his main hobby after work is research on world conflicts in relation with LatinAmerica. I started with scale models since I was a child in Caracas (I´m 44 now), in my 20s I moved to eastern Vnzlan coast for undergraduate studies then went to Europe for a master degree. Work overseas and back again in the east part of my country till my 30s. Right now I live In Ccs, married with 2 daughters.
    Six years ago I started to reseach on a venezuelan who flew with the red baron during WWI, then on WW2 related aviators, Korea, Nam and also Irak. I already published two books in spanish: "El Teniente Carlos Meyer...", 2005 and "Héroes del Aire en Venezuela", 2007.
    Finally my interest today is write the history of Dieter Pfeiffer a venezuelan born tank commander of the 11th Panzer (Ghost) Division. Today Dieter is alife with 85 years, but his war trauma is strong, we chat sometimes but he does not accept taking notes or recording. I have several pictures of him -from the war and now-. Any info of him would help me. I´m tracing the division´s actions an one of his best commanders Major Karl von Sivers.
    In the axis forum nobody could help me.
    Sincerely yours,
    Clemente Balladares
