Hi I have a wartime story which may or may not interest people. Things were pretty dreadful in the centre of Sheffield after what was know as the Sheffield Blitz when much of sheffield city centre was flattened. My Uncle, who was in the Auxiliary Fire Service was trying to get home after a long night with the AFS. As he walked up what was left of High Street he came across a body clad in German Uniform. I am not sure what he did about it but I presume, that as the body could obviously not be returned to Germany, he must have been buried somewhere. Has anyone any idea where or what would have happened to him. One wonders where he came from. but I suppose that as it was a heavy bombing raid, he fell out of a plane. By the way you can see all about the Sheffield Blitz on the Sheffield site with some graphic pictures of the raids and damage. _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~engsheffield_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~engsheffield) Cheers Judy Elkington
