It's a real story, with real people

This blog is a real autobiography of a rebellious German soldier. It includes letters to home while was a prisoner after the second world war ended in Belgium, where we worked for about two years on war cemeteries digging graves and exhuming bodies. (Henry Chapelle for example) He was also my father.

He wrote his autobiography in 1995, it's metculous and more thoughtful than I'd expect from him to have written in English. At times, he writes of things he never spoke of while he breathed. He's dead now, but I think he'd enjoy this blog technology a lot, as he was a creative, inventive guy.

I'll be adding excerpts each week or so...
