Hello!

Came to search more information regarding my great uncle Johannes Alfred Pless and this find here is priceless. Where is the original of this photo and the letter?
After the war no one back home new what had happened to him. Most probably he was killed in april 1945, but don’t have full information or certain facts.

The original of the photo and letter is from his SS-File located at Bundesarchive. My copy is from the National Archive in USA. I have some more pages of his file. If you are interested.
