Greetings Dr. Wollschlaeger,
When is "A German Life" going to be available in Spanish and if already then from where can I order it?
Thank you,

Your father's picture on the cover of your book indicates that he was in the SS. He has the "Death's Head" on his lapels. In your book, and your talks you say he was in the Wehrmacht, but I doubt that. You also say he was not a member of the Nazi party, I doubt that also because being in the SS and being decorated by Hitler himself he must have been a member of the Nazi party. Please explain!

Thanks for the comment.
Actually, my father was not in the SS. The lapel insignias may be similar to the SS but were also used by the Wehrmacht. He was kept for 6 moths in an American POW camp after the war and the records do not indicate any SS affiliation.
