Details on the 48-hour Ultimatum: Wood and Nails
We've updated the story page to reflect recent information obtained from Peter and Elizabeth Bartmann, who are residents and historians in Schwarzenfeld. They helped us discover one remarkable piece of information. When the American commander ordered the townspeople to construct caskets, it is well-known that wood and nails were in short supply. Apparently, children of the town solved half of that problem. They knew that a local barn contained a large number of old horseshoes, each of which had nails. They quickly proceeded to extract the nails and hammer them back into shape. In addition, we've added new pictures of Father Viktor in the gallery section.
