And many, many thanks for the hint to Carius' book.
Very good book. The back of the book has after action reports and also copies of his commendations in both German and English. Second time I have read it.
I ordered the book directly from Mr. Carius' former pharmacy (
http://www.tiger-apotheke.de).
Two years ago he still was working in his pharmacy. He was the oldest active pharmacist in Germany at that time.
And Oberleutnant a.D. Carius signed the book personally!!!
The book indeed is very good. Lots of excellent information. And so many tragic, but also funny and extraordinary experiences. The color facsimiles of the commendations at the back are a great addition, too.
Thanks again for the recommendation.
