In this sense, it is not a diary but many recollections of Kurt Bundrock, of which several - more private - parts were left out by the editors of the Landser. These parts were not very interesting, merely describing Bundrock's adventures during a rest.

Hoping that you are doing fine? All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis

Hi Marcel,

I am not going to reveal the name of the person in question. It is up to him to reply or not, but rest assure - he does not have a copy or so - it is the actual original manuscript from and typed by Bundrock which has personal corrections, pages inserted, and so on. This manuscript was indeed mainly used for the Landser but I can only confirm that certain parts which were left out are in fact very interesting. I wonder which copy that you have, because there are in fact two different typed versions of this manuscript, which he both has.
And were do you draw the line between personal recollections and a diary. I see it as a diary.
Anyway, there is at this moment nothing more that I can do, a mail has been forwarded.
And yes, thanks, all is OK, and I can only hope that you are doing fine also.
Best wishes,

Wim
