Here's my 2 pennies worth:
Herr Ellensohn,
I read in horror about your campaign to have Major Novotny disinterred and re-buried in a pauper's grave.
Does it cost so much to leave a man the respect that not only his countrymen, but also his former enemies accorded him? He was fighting for his country as he saw fit. My father flew with Bomber Command during WW2 and lost a large number of comrades, possibly some to Major Novotny himself. He bears no grudge against the fighting men of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe or Kreigsmarine, just the government they fought for. What hatred burns inside you that you will go to the lengths of having a man who has been dead for 58 years disinterred from a peaceful grave?
Yours sincerely,
I look forward to his reply.....
