eva; Well, he’s been dead since 1944 (even his son Manfred has passed on, now). And Erwin screwed over the Nazis with his death; his head wound was probably going to kill him anyway. So he got in a final hit, and saved his family. Go get Bread and Swans. It’s got all the details (and some I added…..
It’s got a cheap download, too!
