Comments on: Interview With World War II German Officer Siegfried Knappe http://www.historynet.com/interview-with-world-war-ii-german-officer-siegfried-knappe.htm From the World's Largest History Magazine Publisher Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:31:52 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Lou http://www.historynet.com/interview-with-world-war-ii-german-officer-siegfried-knappe.htm/comment-page-1#comment-80647 Lou Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:46:34 +0000 #comment-80647 I had the pleasure of having Siegfried to my house for dinner on the mid 70's in CA. At that time he was working for NCR out of Dayton, Ohio. I knew nothing about his background but after a bottle or two of wine the discussion came to his experiences in the war. To say that it was a memorable experience would be a gross understatement. I had the pleasure of having Siegfried to my house for dinner on the mid 70’s in CA.

As a German Canadian who's grandparents and great uncles also fought in WWII for Germany I appreciated the books detail and was happily surprised at how many details were similar to my own grandfather's tales...

I also went to Berlin this past year and saw many of the areas he referred to in his book. In contrast to Herr Deshpane's comment about Hitler, Knappe didn't seem to like him, nor did most general staff officers. Herr Deshpande rightly should be proud of Knappe's service to Germany, but he ended up an American, and not a closet Nazi like Herr Deshpande; to hell with Hitler, rather than heil!

This interview helped flesh out some of the final details from the book, it would be great to hear more from Herr Knappe.
