Found Photos of German WWII Officers
The following photographs were found in this book.
The photos are annotated on the front and back. The people mentioned are Major General Wend von Wietersheim, Lt. General Herman Balck, Field Marshal von Manstein, and Gisela Lingenthal, who was married to General Lingenthal and daughter of von Manstein. There is also someone identified as Molla, of whom I cannot find any information. The photos were taken in the early 1970's.
Found Poem by Ralph Jerome Wright, jr.
Many years ago I found the following poem written somewhere, I think on the flyleaf of some book. I've tried to discover who Ralph Jerome Wright, jr. is, but no luck. I have transcribed it as I wrote it down. I don't know if this is how it appeared as written.
The train rolls on at
a slow-tune pace. Passengers
board, dyellabas and veils
bustle off. I’ve Tangier
residue in my mouth and a red
cloak to hide in. Nodding by
a cold window, the red desert
moon lifts slowly into flight,
an icy crescent arcing
counter to my own direction
with even speed. Desert
shrubbery, flat expanse–
silent companions sleep.
