[edit] Last sentence

"He was later released". Well, it seems unlikely that he'd still have been a POW in Germany by the time he died in 1987, so this would only be remarkable if he was released still during the war. Is that the case? Otherwise, the sentence should be changed or deleted. athinaios 15:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
