Hello, Someone was asking about Albert Hroch. He was my great Uncle. I lived with him until I was 25 years old. He was a blessing to my life, and someone I am very proud of... I didn't know much about his war time endeavors he kept them pretty private. I know there were things that haunted him and I did hear a few bits of historical information. I recall he thought Hogan's Heros was a joke of a television show and that he did like to watch a "real" war movie. He was very reminiscent about songs like "I'll be seeing you" and was a loving husband to my Aunt Francis. One thing he told me over and over was just how hungry he was when he returned from war. That he was offered a milkshake and he asked for a second. They told him it would make him sick. He was the best man I have ever known, and I don't think I would be who I am today if he wouldn't have been a part of my life. Angela Linger
My grandfather Clair Kimpel was on this list! And while he has been dead for 20 years he has shared many memories from his experience in the war and of his capture. And my grandmother has many important times from his service documented.
Hi Shanonkimpel, Thank you for taking the trouble to post on this thread. As you might have noticed, the main contributor, erdocsgg has not visited the forum for over two years now. Let's hope that they will pop back in one day and see yours and Angela's new posts. Perhaps it might be an idea to send them a pm via the forum. It seems a shame for them to miss your input. Best wishes Steve
Hi Bethie, I've found some enlistment details in the findmypast archives. Do you want me to post or do you already have these details?
Carl Niklas POW was my uncle, was watching a show about the war and got to thinking about my uncle and his diary he wrote while in POW camp. Found this page. Interesting page
