Interesting world - New friend in Belgium
#18

Dear Marion How are you ??

I just finished to read the letters from Gilbert Stevenot to you (Steve)

I have been surprised to learn that he was working for the Nazis during the WW2 to the liberation of his village by American Troops I have been schocked, knowing not exactly what kind of work he make for the germans during four years, I canno't say nothing more about Steve, but I find

this story enough strange

Well it looks as though we will all learn something by this encounter. Yes it is a real twist and something that wasn't all that uncommon during the war. I have read other accounts of men and women who were made to work for the Nazis during the occupation. Those with special skills like Steve, were grabbed up first and used for their abilities.

 

I am glad that he survived the entire ordeal and then in turn was able to help the Americans with those same skills. Who better to help the Allies having been an "insider"? Life is full of ironies isn't it?

 

Thank you for your kind offer regarding the CD's. I would absolutely love to have a set. It will be a valuable addition to my collection and will enable me to find out more about the Battle of the Bulge. Merci Beaucoup mon ami!

 

Welcome and I hope we get to hear all about your experiences during the occupation and of course, the liberation of your beautiful country. :wub:
