Wilhelm Batz
Dear All,
On a website about Willi Batz (http://www.luftwaffe.cz/batz.html), there is the following piece of information: 'Batz fell ill in February 1944 and was grounded for two weeks.' Do you happen to know what illness it was (or whether he was perhaps wounded)? Thank you in advance. |

Re: Wilhelm Batz
Might I suggest that being taken ill for 2 weeks nothing and not worthy of being recorded and could be no more than flu or a heavy cold! 2 months maybe

Re: Wilhelm Batz
Thank you, it's very likely what you say, but, funnily enough, it was recorded, as the website shows. That's why I was wondering what it had been. Maybe someone has his Soldbuch and knows the actual answer. :-)

The soldbuch would not contain medical reasons.

Re: Wilhelm Batz
Thank you. I didn't know that. In fact, last year I asked about Robert 'Bazi' Weiss, who had been grounded for about two months ('Weiss fell ill in May 1943 and was withdrawn from combat until July when he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 3./JG 54'. Source: http://www.luftwaffe.cz/weiss.html), and nobody knew the answer either. I guess someone told me then it could be in his Soldbuch, that's why I mentioned it.

Re: Wilhelm Batz
I think everyone should endeavor to be polite and patient with Teresa Maria. I've read a couple of responses to her lately that I don't like the tenor of--a little blunt, a little patronizing, and slightly rude.
And I'm not going to tolerate any more of it. So, there's that. Bronc |

I believe if one can't be polite in reply, one shouldn't reply. And one should try to be careful with choice of words and phrases. But on the other hand, the English language has many nuances (as many languages do) and the way one reads the written word does not always reflect the thoughts of the writer, so don't I think we can afford to get tooo sensitive. Many of us have non-English speaking backgrounds, and that may also affect the tone of what is written. Now, as for just where that line in the sand is ....... Peter |
