Falaise Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I can not help but share my joy I have just bought this day the Enigma of General Harmel of the 10th Frundsberg This Enigma was discovered at the beginning of the year 80 in the ashes of a tree stump which had been burned for clearing a field this tree was about a hundred meters from the castle of Bas Aubry who had served as HQ at 10th SS Frunsdberg during the fight in the pocket of Falaise Chambois (scenario 4 Kampfgruppe Engel) To avoid falling into the hands of the allies and having no time to destroy, it was hidden in a hollow tree where it remained until it burns 25 years latrter In the hands of a private collector she was auctioned that day and I bought it she will be exposed to the Memorial of Montormel I am like Saint Louis when he acquired the crown of thorns of Christ Edited May 25, 2019 by Falaise 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combatintman Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Here was me thinking I was going to read an interesting thread about the complexity of Heinz Harmel … Bloody good find though mate, you must be chuffed to bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
