Now, I have another genealogical adventure.
My daughter sent me this blog about lost art and what jumped out?
This:
Dutch commanding general General Henry G. Winkelman surrendered and the country fell under German occupation.
He was, I learned,
born in Maastricht as the son of Julius Hendrik Winkelman and Charlotte Henriëtte Braams
Am I related to him?
I doubt it since the possibility of him having Jewish lineage is probably nil.
But, still...

You are surprisingly ill informed. There were many of Jewish lineage fighting for Germany in first and second world wars.
Just google;

Dear Thor,
I wasn't referring to the "many" but to this one person who shares with me the same surname.
