Lieutenant Gleffe, Strongpoint Remscheid, May 1943

The tall Lieutenant Gleffe stands on a slope slightly above a rather short soldier in May 1943.

Looking at the photos from the Remscheid strongpoint, it is evident that the soldiers were tuning out the danger. The diary records mortar and artillery fire, as well as actual attacks. During these months, Gruber also frequently reports "lively infantry activity." Nevertheless—as seen here with the tall Lieutenant Gleffe and a somewhat short comrade—the soldiers were quite obviously still ready for a bit of fun.
