Forum member Roberto Muehlenkamp has contributed a moving and fascinating tribute to his late uncle, Obergefreiter Ernst August Schmidt (killed in action at the age of 19 during the last days of the Russo-German War). Mr. Muehlenkamp's article includes a photo of Obergefreiter Schmidt, letters written home from the Ostfront, and many documents detailing his brief but distinguished military career.
