edit data

Biographer of the 4 book series of German General Frtiz Bayerlein - Rommel's Chief-of-Staff, and later CO of Panzer Lehr Division, LIII Armee Korps and Korps Gruppe Bayerlein.
I hope you all enjoy and learn from this extensive saga of Bayerlein - I know I had a grand adventure on the research trail - and the highlights were the most incredible people I met along the way. I truly enjoyed their company, thought the world of them and grieved when they passed. Many told me the stories of the war, sad, but it is the story of a time in which we needed to remove evil men from power. Unfortunately, we now are facing the evil.

I remember growing up in rural poverty Georgia and riding my big pony to the county library. My mother made me some canvas saddle bags so I could stash my treasures and bring them home to covet and read. I was never censored or ever asked, "what are you reading." I had the freedom to read whatever I wanted. I noticed the librarians let me take out books way above my grade level. They never chased me from the reference sections as I sat in the aisles and read about the Holocaust and the Third Reich. Freedom to read what you want and freedom of speech are this countries greatest assets. (less)
