Yes, please, I'm sure all our readership will be interested. If it is onerous, you could put a few blocks of the German text onto here: many of us have some knowledge of the language (gained either as unwilling guests of the Third Reich or later in RAFG) and could lend you a hand.

My own view is that the German race survived only by being unterkellert. Some years ago, I read this, and put it on here:
..."When USAAC General "Hap" Arnold (the instigator of the eponymous Scheme in which I learned to fly in '41-'42), toured the German cities in 1945, even he was shocked by what he saw. "One gets a feeling of horror," he wrote on seeing Cologne: "Nothing, nothing is left." (D.Tel. "Review" on 19.10.13.)"...
Warmtoast,

Thanks for the link, have not tried it yet, and I think the Q.M. had her finger on the button there ! - although the Lord Protector did have a good run until he died naturally (the Royalists had to dig him up to exact revenge on his corpse - Wiki).

Danny.
