Re: Heinz Sannemann by Falk Breuer & Walter Waiss
Here's one review:
One of his last published phrases by the 97-year-old Heinz Sannemann is: "Knowledge does not mean power, but more helpfulness, more humility and goodness, the only power is the one that springs from love, knowledge and service, goodness humility and simplicity." Until he died on January 7, 2014. He was known to a large fan base at home and abroad as a philanthropist and naturalist who has made a name for himself by researching bees and their importance for a balanced ecosystem.
He was in World War II as a relay captain and group commander to the famous fighter squad Udet, but knew that only a few close confidants. For him, this chapter was completed. But his flying career was not completely insignificant, as evidenced by the collection of photos and documents that he had in his estate and which he had kept throughout his life.
His extensive correspondence with his future wife Marlies Dierks give an authentic insight into the time. The fact that it was really always about life and death, is in the correspondence, however, only hinted broached.
The flying career of Heinz Sannemann shows just exemplary how seducible young people of his generation were. After he had come in February 1940 in the fall of the newly formed II. Group of the Jagdgeschwader 3, he is assigned as a technical officer to the group staff.
Again and again he reports in his letters to his wife of losses in their own ranks.
After war and captivity, Heinz Sannemann returns to his hometown in Osnabrück in 1946. In 1982, after his employment with his father-in-law in the deserved retirement.
He then devotes himself to the study of anthroposophy and classical Chinese medicine, publishes his findings and remains a counselor to many help seekers until his death.
He never flew an airplane again."
