Just found this article from The Independent of London, from April 17th 1995, about the 1995 Exhibition on Wehrmacht war crimes, held in Hamburg ("Vernichtungs krieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1944").
The piece includes the reactions of the visitors to the exhibits, and gives 3 concrete examples, including this:
"Erwin Groke, 80, a former architect, said: "One can always find such things. You could find such things in Britain, too. We acted according to the Geneva Convention. I don't think the exhibition has got it right. Who would have covered things up, anyway?"
Now, could this be "our" Erwin?? Hmmmm the 1995 article says he was 80... Check out Hptm. Erwin Groke´s date of birth above
We will know soon
