As we see by his Member Number, DONALD BERHENT (6882-2004) is a pretty new Member, but he writes: "Yesterday I received my first issue (#178) of Sharkhunters and could not put it down! I do remember seeing newsreels in the 40s of WW II action. In the early 70's I did a lot of research and discovered we were fed a lot of propaganda about the Third Reich. I have many books covering the German side of the conflict and am interested in all branches of their military. I wish everyone there the best and look forward to the next issue of Sharkhunters."

NICK REVELIOTTY (6839-2004) took several of his family with him on our Crimean `Patrol' and he writes: "We all had a great time on the Crimean Tour. Hans-Rudolf was a great guide and the interpreter was terrific. Some hotels could have been better but we had to realize we were no longer in the USA. The rest of the world can't be as beautiful as New Jersey."

What Was His Job in the Crim?

1. To have sufficient ammunition for 4 batteries of 21cm;
