My reply to Steve:
Dear Steve:
I have not heard from you for a while and am always concerned. It was so nice to get this letter below.
I have taken the liberty to place John's letter (with the soldier's words) and your response, on the forum. I think they are great words to read and to ponder upon. You are always so elegant with your words.
I think it's a great idea to let people know that not all GERMANS WERE BAD PEOPLE. Many got drafted and were forced to fight for their country. Not all were SS, not all believed that Jews were bad people. Not all trusted and loved Adolf the Jerk!
We need to make people understand that many of these men were loving husbands and fathers and sons. Many wanted nothing more than peace and to go back to their homes and lead a normal life. So sad that Germany lost so many so that Adolf could live out his psychotic dreams!
Bless you and keep you,
