Ah, thanks for that--I'm a bit hard-pressed on time today!
As to my grandfather and the movies, well, his diary is full of witty and at-times biting criticism of this or that movie, which was one of the few indulgences he apparently did before having been drafted to the RAD and the Wehrmacht later on (but movie night was also a common R&R practice during the war).
Behold, the power of the internet: Robert Koch, Der Bekämpfer Des Todes.

Amazing subject matter given where we are today.
Also, perhaps Mr Sonntag is a bit of a subtle jokester, saying the movie is nothing to be 'sneezed at.' Very touching.

I sincerely hope the people of tomorrow burn my private diaries. They will think I am absolutely mental.
Well, I don't know about your diaries, but I suppose they can't be worse than others…
This genuinely made me laugh, thanks.
Wonderful joining of dots thank you for sharing your precious history
There's more to come, both image- and diary-wise!
