<HTML>Hi Gudmundur,
According to the description of the seller, this body was found in a road ditch near a beach in Pommerania. Some soposed eyewitness was told that this man\'s boat was in Gdynia at the time of his leave to visit his home town, which was supposedly something like S T U M . . .
I dug out an old 1899 Atlas: Nearest town starting that way was somewhere in Bavaria. Assume this was another case of unreliable eyewitnesses. Moreover, I had the immediate suspicion, that this is another clever story to sell an item connected to the Uboats.
Thanks, Gummi. Lets keep digging into this just a while longer, ok?
