Dear Sir,
I was born and went to school in the beautiful town of Dresden. I have my fondest memories of this like a fairy tale city. My odler brother's British wife liked Dresden very much. she liked the Winzer, wormers and the Weindorf. All places served wine and had sing alongs.Seveeral times I went to the Opera House. After 1933 when there were vacant seats left, just before the start of the Opera, teenagers were let in for only 50 Pfg. Our family lived on Jakobsgasse, named after a Jacobin Monastery. I went to the annenkirche for bible studies with Pfarrer Bohljahn. The Dresde Hygiene Museum I believe the first in the world. There we had as Man made of Glas with inner Organs . Later joined by a female. I was in teh Army when the town was bombed. My parents could not stand staying in the small cellar and ent to the nearby Elbe River. Father died weeks later and my mother told me that low flying planes attacked them with machine gun fire. I will write to you and mail the fee for your newsletter. Thank you P.S. At the 50 year Memorial Service at Dresden they invited the Mayor of Coventry. To show that the Germans also bombed towns badly. When I found out later in a British Magazine that coventry had over 20 aircraft factories and the German attack cost the lives of 554 persons. thanks Walt The cruel bombing was inscribed in my mothers face until she died.
