Today, I`ve found rather sad information: Dr Erich Kaestner, the last German WWI veteran has passed away.

Recently on another forum I`ve found a discussion cocnerning the sad truth that the band of WWII Veterans is shriking rapidly. However sad it is, in the very meantime last veterans of another great conflict that somehow initiated XX century pass away in relative obscurity. Out of millions of soldiers of the Great War, until today only mere two dozens are still alive. Like Harry patch, the last Tommy who fought in the trenches...
