Vážený kolego, Váš příspěvek je velice zajímavý, ale mám strach, že v tématu zapadne. Nebylo by možno zpracovat tyto informace do krátkého článku,který by se mohl později objevit na stránkách válka.cz? Nějak podobně jsem postupoval, když jsem zpracoval životopis svého dědečka. Pokud budete potřebovat pomoc, obraťte se na mne.
