Oh and by the way, apparently the United States Air Force was able to verify his service record. My Dad, Gottfried was honored by the United States Air Force as an Honorary Eagle a few years back. They flew him to a ceremony in which he was given an award and the military even provided my sisters and myself with documentation and a lithograph of the pilots being honored. So my Dad must be some story teller to be able to "fool" you and the military with his made up stories. All I ever see on these posts is "no shred of evidence" etc etc. Does anyone have anything positive to say about someone who served their country and suffered terribly for it? Yes he was on the losing side, but from what I understand from my Dad, there was no way to say no to serving. Those people just disappeared. In addition, his older brother, who became institutionalized when he was not able to recover from high fever from the measles, was euthanized as part of Hitler's reign of extermination. My Dad's family got a letter saying his brother and many others in the ward caught another "illness" and died suddenly. It was only after the war that they found out what really happened. There are probably no records of that either. So I assume someone will say it's all made up. A few years back one of my friends did a search of Dad's name and found this thread and told me about it. I told my Dad there were people that were saying his story was made up. He didn't care at all, but I felt I had to defend him and that's why I post things on here.
