Re: Hans-Ekkehard Bob
This is very sad to hear.
I had a great honour spending 3 days with Mr Bob when he was visiting Finland together with Walter Schuck and Peter Spoden in March 2009. He was a gentleman, officer and also a very successful businessman after the war.
I will remember the rest of my life the moment when these three veterans were laying flowers on the grave of German soldiers at the Hietaniemi cemetery, Helsinki. After that Bob, 92 year old former Luftwaffe major stood at a perfect attention for a moment and did a military hand salute for the fallen comrades (he had a cap on).
Horrido!
