<p>[QUOTE="smshart, post: 4466478, member: 76563"][ATTACH=full]386078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386084[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]386085[/ATTACH] Wanting to share this document that's been in our family ever since my late father in law returned to U. S. from being stationed as a MP in Germany at time leading up too and the end of WWII. This is original to my late father in law and we've been told only a very few exist to this day. One other report out there, is at a college library in CA. We have been able to view a microfilmed copy to compare the 2 and verify that yes, this one is authentic. With exception of a couple of spelling differences between a couple of the words in each, ours does not have quite as much deterioration to the pages as that one. Given it's age, it's not surprising deterioration is present at all. Also of note, paper was scarcer and they used what they had on hand hence the difference between color, weight and size used for typing. Also can be seen; there were corrections made as this was typed. Not seeking debate here; A National Museum and others have expressed interest due to the historical significance of what is in this. On the flip side, some do not. Just wanted to share what we perceive as an interesting, yet disturbingly scary document.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
