Hi Adalbert,
I have read an exerpt out of your chronicle of my life (1928 - 1954)
You wrote for 1945
1945
February 6: Rumor has it that the rest of cutoff battery walked across ice of Frische Haff to Pillau harbor, leaving flak and equipment behind without a shot. Later I learn from Klaus that this was true. The flak unit chief, a Königsberg butcher, to be court-martialed for this, commits suicide. He pulls a hand granade, clings to it,was a fine gentleman whose decision to withdraw saves the life of Klaus and the other boys that we are.
Question: Would you remember the name of this Koenigsberg butcher - by chance??
My ggrandfather was a butcher in Koenigsberg and I try to trace what happened to him.
Thank you so very much for your reply.
Kind regards
Angie
