Status: offline 		Got this as an early birthday present (April 24th) signed by a German 22nd Panzer Division crew member, Obergefreiter Henry Metelmann, who was in Operation Barbarossa, Crimean Winter 1941, Mannestein's 11th Army early Spring 1942, push to the River V and approach to Stalingrad. He returned to his unit for the Battle of Stalingrad before being wounded again and walked for days before being captured. He escaped and in early 1945 was sent to join a Panzer unit in the West defending the Rhine from the advancing US Army under General Patton.

Oh, and by the way....Happy Birthday. (Pretty close to the "Fuhrer's" birthday isn't it?)

That would be today...10 days before another of Adolf's Anniversaries.

Well Happy Birthday officially. And I hope I didn't dim your day by mentioning that little Austrian Corporal.
