Hello, I am trying to find out just how dispersed the paratrooper drop was during Operation Stosser. I understand that it was very bad conditions for a paratrooper drop (low clouds, night, high winds, inexperienced Ju52 pilots, little training etc) and have read accounts saying some landed in Bonn (...

All I know is what I was personally told by the museum in late 2005. That the man in the photo has been identified, lives in the USA, has been contacted but wishes to stay anonymous. There is no conspiracy, this is what I was told by the museum and that is it. Discreditting me or trying to deny I wa...

Thanks "timowr" :? Now you have let the cat out of the bag. :( Rob's memory may not be failing him but mine might be. I have just confirmed with my brother, who was there with me at the time, that it was Rob's wife Jacqueline who in fact was the one who told us that yes they had identified...

I seriously doubt if the man mentioned by the museum is really the man in that photo. I seriously question why you (or anyone else) must think that.

Ave Bullman, If there were a way that I could contact him, I would. Evidently the Belgain museum did, and he refused to give his story to them. That leads me to believe that not only will the museum not help in any search, but also that the soldier himself might not appreciate your contacting him. ...

Hello all. This is my first post here at these forums. Last year on my WW2 battlefield of western Europe, I was able to visit the awesome Ardennen Poteau '44 Museum in Belgium that is dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge. It is of extra interest because it is located only a few hundered meters up th...
