Now that Father's Day is over, I reached out to one of the family. If I don't get a reply or phone call in a couple of days, I'll try a different one.

I'll also attempt the pics sometime this week. Benny's got them posted on a metal detecting Facebook group.

About 40 years ago he was literally ran over head to toe by a road roller. I think it broke every bone in his body. While on leave, was shot twice in the arm when deer hunting. Blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, one crushed nut, but no excuses.

Be careful standing next to this guy if there's lightning around.

Krupp's carriage


I think Krupp was was a major arms contractor for the Nazis so interesting info you found. The use of the same carriage was interesting as the later Germans were good about this later on. Since WWI armor was thin and planes were new to the conflict a AA gun may not have been needed yet.
