<HTML>Hi all,
I read a lot of statements about the war graves of soldiers and I respect everyone of them, because they are given from a different perspective.
I know, everyone of you had studied about WW II or WW I and your statements shows it. I have served in the Bundes Marine (4 Years) and Coast Guard 18 Years and Merchant marine 5 Years. I studied about WW II when I was 16 Years old.
To give some rough figures: WW II had cost 55 million lives, 22 million russian soldiers, 3.7 million German soldiers, 500.000 American soldiers and so on.
The civilian population suffered the most and I have seen a lot of suffering in my footages and I have seen the mass graves after the bombardment of the German cities or London or the Japanese Cities.
Nobody even mentioned their suffering or ordeal in this terrible times. If anybody find the wrecksite of the \"Wilhelm Gustloff\", let\'s make it a war grave where 5000 lives were lost. Soldiers, Old men, Women and Children.
I always pay my respect to the soldiers who gave their lives for their countries, but I also pay my my respect to the civilians, who lost their lives for political reasons and insanity.
Best Regards, Torlef</HTML>
