Hi. I am posting this in the hope that someone may be able to help. I am writing an article about eight German graves, where nine names are inscribed, that are situated in Scampton Churchyard in Lincolnshire. There appears to be some conjecture over one particular name that of E.H.Reidel. I am looking for what ever information can be gathered. I have had some success from the internet, but thought that there may be some informed members that perhaps could shed further light on this subject. Kind Regards A Hewitt.
Nothing about a E.H REIDEL on the Volksbund site between 1939 and 1947 I'm afraid. http://www.volksbund.de/home.html
I will be visiting Scampton later this year but not sure precisely when that will be. If the information you require is likely to be self-evident from the grave markers/memorials then I could take some photos for you.
Just listing some stuff on the internet, I know you said you found it already but this is more for other members.
