Concerning location and spelling:

Mosel (or French Moselle) river and Rhine (Rhein in German) river. Must have been around Koblenz where the Mosel River flows into the Rhine.

Beautiful wine country today. Must have been crazy.

Much appreciated AMA! Best wishes to you and and him!

I'm from Switzerland, currently in NYC. My parents are from Germany and Finnland. My German grandfather fought in the Kriegmarine, a shame he never really overcame although so young. My grandfather on the finnish side fought in the winter war and continuation war, with much pride against the soviets. I'm a pacifist, but my family past has influenced my interest in history and sociology.

I highly appreciate both of you doing this! As a historian and sociologist this is fascinating. He seems to be a great character and genuine guy. Down to earth but humor high as the sky!

May he soon be able to walk again! Best wishes! Stay the beautiful minds that you are! Much love!
