Another Member and veteran of World War II has begun his ‘Eternal Patrol’.

On 23 March this year, Generalmajor OTTO KUMM (4008-1994) passed away. The clock is ticking so fast.

He was decorated with the Knights Cross with Oak Leaf and Swords, and he was the last living founder of HIAG.

Bruno Rzonca

While Bruno Rzonca was not a Member, the passing of this man, one of a handful of survivors of BISMARCK, must be noted. Sail on in peace Bruno – you certainly earned it. He began his ‘Eternal Patrol’ on 23 July 2004, the victim of cancer.

Thanks to VICTOR KOVACH (544-1988) for this sad news. As we have been saying all too frequently these past few years – the clock is ticking so much faster now.
