Thanks for the info. I have a good amount of photos from the training there, perhaps 30 or so, and then some time he had on leave in the area included in those. Of course, afterwards, he shipped to greece with the 11. luftwaffe field division. He was injured in an accident there and sent to recoup in Italy. After that, he volunteered for the FJ and then was with Ramcke in Afrika until the surrender in Britanny in 44.

I will be leaving for germany in two weeks and will be there for three months, though mostly in the south. I will spend a week or so in NRW so wont be incredibly far away. Perhaps I can swing a side trip there though its a long shot.

If I find anything else out, I will post it here.

Again, I appreciate the replies!
