Greetings everyone
Ive been posting a couple of places on the forum, and I figured it might be a good idea to introduce myself.
My name is Will, Ive been in the "Dead Nazi" community for a number of years, off and on. Ive been pretty inactive as of late, but a friend mentioned this forum and I thought it might be a good idea to stop by.
I have memories of a past life in Nazi Germany. In short, I was from Munchen, was Joined (AKA was conscripted) into the Heeres Kavallerie when I was 19 (Yes, I was younger than a lot of folks that tend to frequent the forums- I was born towards the end of WWI) and transferred to the Waffen SS in 1941, not out of any sort of ideological aim, but because I didnt want to trade in my horse for a Bicycle. In 42/43 I was injured and declared unfit for frontline duty and sent to ride a desk at a KL and spent the rest of the war there.
Im very interested in speaking with everyone here. I think that having a forum where everyone can talk on an even front is an excellent idea and I look forward to contributing.
If you have any questions, please ask. Will

Hey, Will! Long time, no forum together. Ye Olde Times again. I, also, will raise the coffee due to the time of day.

Hello Will.
Welcome to the forum. I hope that you enjoy yourself here on the site. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM either myself or our Global Moderator, MsMir.
Thank you for sharing some of your memories with us here & I hope to see more in the future. Incidentally, do you know which KL you were transferred to back then?
Sincerely, Laurasia

Thank you for the responses and warm welcome everyone.
I was posted to Auschwitz II. Although I was just an enlisted fellow, and not that high up on the food chain, so no nice weekend retreats or private apartments for me, I fear.

That's too bad, Will. Sometimes those little perks were the only thing that got some of us through the work week within the camp.
Sincerely, Laurasia
