As a reward the Baron took him back to Germany and set him up with a Baroness in marriage. Our family lost a case in Germany over 18 million dollars in inheritance which was kept by the Cassel, Germany during World War I. I have an article on this from the 1917? Reading Eagle. I will try to dig it out, scan it, and place it on the net.
