It is unique in ...Now this entry is really amazing. It is unique in two aspects:<br /><br />1. It is the first note that tells us something about the time between 1919 and 1939, since it refers to something in 1937.<br /><br />2. Obviously, Dieter had some kind of a training in 1937. Dieter was not really a young guy ready for action at that time. So I assume he was kind of volotarily taking part in that training. <br />Alternatively, might it be that already in 1937 battle-hardened veterans were collected to be squad leaders in the time to come? This has also historically interesting aspects!Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
