Hartmann: claims vs. victories

[Kapper]

Franek,

You may be right for some Logbooks, for Hartmann it's either destroyed, the Americans got it or the Russians got it - There is no way I can see him having it after 10 years in prison.

Also, I wasn't really talking about confiscation, souvenir hunting appeared to be fair game except for items that could be used for intelligence which is usually handed over to an officer - the officer goes this looks interesting - the wars over - I might just keep this. Most infantry soldiers I know would go - this will make good toilet paper!

Unfortunately time catches up and the older generation move on. Their children find these things in the attic, don't see any value and dump into the bin - some may pass to museums etc or sell at a pawn shop (Rudel's Ehrenpokal apparently turned up in a pawn shop in America several years ago)

Anyway, all I'm saying is we live in hope?

Regards,

Craig..
