Thank you Lady's for your kind words 
yes I think my english could be worse, for one who had only one year english in scool (24 years ago) it's probably not too bad I learned a lot the last 5 years by reading in the Internet but I'm still not used to talk it.
I have planned to visit my friend Tom from New Hampshire last year in march but I could not get off work. I have meet him on the Internet 5 years ago his Father was in Lux. in 44.
Maybe I will come in june this year but it isn't for sure, Marilyn the girls name of the story was it Milly?
Yes the war years were very heavy for the peoples under the nazi boot but the biggest crime they did it to our young men they put them in their gray uniform and send them on the russian front.
If they refused to put on their uniform the germans would send the entire family to germany for reeducation.
Most of them never came back from russia
My Grand-father from my mother's side hated the germans and when I was a kid my Grand-mother told me (he never talked about his experience) one day a black car arrived
men's in long black leather coats (Gestapo)went out of the car came into the house without knocking
on the door and took my Grand-pa with them without an explanation.
After 5 or 6 days he was back home they had tortured him that's for sure but till today nobody realy know's why.
Even today after now 60 years the older peolpe can't forgive what the germans did to them.
Let's hope that it will never happen again.
