P.S. If you want a photo, here is a link: https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Marotzke,_Horst
However, Metapedia is, in general, not a trustworthy site because it supports Nazi ideology and, if you click on Treptow an der Rega, Marotzke's birthplace, it says it is a German town under Polish occupation. That is ideological rubbish. Treptow, now Trzebiatów, is in Poland, and it is like saying that, for example, Mumbai is a British city under Indian occupation.
