Hi,
I'm Werner Bohlmann from Bremen.
My Mother Irma Ida (1914-2006) was the sister of Waltraut Preuss. Photo attached shows parents of Elli, Kaete, Irma, Waltraut, Else, Fritz and Harry.
I can remember that the Bremen flat of the Preuss family was in the street Pastorenweg in Bremen-Groepelingen. They had a big American van and Holger hurt his finger by the van's door.
Best regards from cold Bremen (snow and -5°C)
