    Carl,

    Did you know that Ritterkreuztrager [​IMG] Carl-August Landfermann Leitender Ingenieur on U-181 is still alive? according to Das Ritterkreuz.

    If you are interested i will check that for you.

    Anything in the post yet ?

    Paul

    Hi Mate--that is excellent news--please check for me.

    Sorry to say that I have not seen anything yet--I asked the postman to try to keep hie eye out looking for a package from England for me. Now--sometime last week--something was signed for at the flat office which is mine but--the office people seems to have misplaced it. I don't know who this is from but--I keep checking back there when I can in case they do find my mail.

    Alos--thanks to some auto repairs--I am yet again--delayed in sending you that Civilian Award I wanted to get out to you. This time the delay is because of lack of funds :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Hi Paul,

    That's good news, I too would be interested in hearing if Carl-August Landfermann is still alive.

    Also does anyone know if Heinz Rothardt 2./PzAufklAbt 11 is still alive or is he ill as I just got loads of photo copied stuff from him, and no letter or autograph.

    Also is Eduard Lindinger still alive as I got an unsigned photo from him and a small two line note which I can't read.

    Any Help would be great.

    Cheers

    It's correct that Albert Frey has passed away. He passed away on the 1. September together with his wife, Lotten. Albert Frey was one of the oldest living Waffen-SS knight's cross holders.
