I removed the reference to Hans von Luck from the See also. Can someone explain what their connection is?--imars 05:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This guy is still alive? Holy shit. Excuse my language, but the mortality rate of German veterans of World War II (particular officers since they tended to be a little older) is usually higher than Western (or at least American) counterparts. I read his book back in 1998, I'm just slightly amazed is all. Shadowrun 11:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I spoke to him on the phone about ten years ago. I called him at his home in Xenia, Ohio and we had a pleasant conversation which lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. Lilo was there, and they were getting ready to go out shopping. I sent him my copy of his book and he signed it and sent it back to me and we wrote to each other, I have kept the correspondance. He is a very interesting person, and a true gentleman. It was also very interesting to speak to him after having read his book. He has led quite a life and still keeps very fit. I do not see why a reference to Hans von Luck should be removed; nor, on the Luck page do I see why a reference to Knappe should be removed. Where is the harm? Some things can be passed over without comment, it is a potentially useful reference link. By the way if User:Imars insists on such pedantry, it would be better if he wrote: 'I have removed the reference to' rather than 'I removed the reference to'. I forgot to sign this comment earlier. apologies. Bruce bruce (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
