My wife and I have/had cousins who fought in both WW1 & WW2 on both sides of each conflict. The ones who served Kaiser Wilhelm in WW1 were either killed or captured in France. The slain ones are interred in German Military cemeteries, the captured one spent the War in a British POW camp on The Isle of Man. He eventually emigrated to The US of A. His German born son was in the German American Bund band (1936-7) and spent summers at Camp Siegfried in Yaphank, NY. He was drafted in WW2 and served in The Pacific Theatre. I have a photo of 3 German-American cousins when they all met in the Philippines in 1945. My wife has 3 German cousins who served in the Wehrmacht in WW2. One was killed. one captured by the Soviets and released in 1950, and one missing in action in Eastern Germany and never found. There is an excellent German website for finding German military dead; www.volksbund.de for Gabernachweis des Volksbundes Deutsche Kriegsgraeberfuersorge e.V. They have helped me locate several of the above mention German soldiers and continue to search for the missing ones. Ray Gunther (grandson of an emigree from Altenhasungen)
