I don't want to be rude or accusing anyone of anything, but I am quite confused about the original "acquisition" of this book by the G.I.
"Souvenirs"? From a civilian house he was guarding? And he was allowed to keep one bag?

Do I fully misunderstand this case or could it be seen as discussing of stolen property which has been sold over a few times? Or is it just legitimate spoils of war.. if such a thing exist? I truly don't know myself. It just confuses me. How do you, sirvlad, see it?

Maybe I am just imagining in my head what or how much that book would mean to that family.. or maybe it wouldn't. Would they be happy knowing about the book... or angry? Are they nice people? Would they "deserve" it back? Would they "deserve" to be without it? So many thoughts...  :uhoh I'm kinda happy it is in your hands and not in mine :)

Interesting piece of history anyways.

G.I.`s brought back all sorts of things,yes I see your point of course,I was under the impression that it was a castle he was guarding,that was blown apart.I`ve tried to look up some facts about it but haven`t had much luck yet.I would like to contact those people sometime,just not yet.It`s been over 70 years whats a few more.What I want is to know about some of the people in it,who they were and so on.My dream would be to take it to them once,it`s been researched some.I`m not the type of person to have the funds to just fly away.I couldn`t never even pay the airfare,or take enough time off work to enjoy myself.I was thinking of maybe taking it new york and having it looked at,but then again I can`t even affort to do that at this time.I haven`t been able to find anything on the net about the castle,name of the town,the people or anything.Besides Porschinger the name Camphausen is all thru the years to.As far as I can tell it doesn`t say where it`s from just the area I assume,then again I can`t read german.As a side note I collect ww2 german items,appreciate the culture and way of life.I am of german descent.

Here are some bits and pieces I found:

Map location:

Looks like the road to the castle is named "Poshinger Allee" :)

That family seems to be associated in (art) glass business and I guess the "industrial area" right by the castle is a factory of theirs. (Check the satelite photo = Luftbild)

There are several different branches of the family. The glass manufacturers are "Poschinger von Frauenau", the ones in Neu-Egling are called "von Poschinger-Camphausen"

wow Lusche thanks again. I`m not sure what i`m going to do,think I`ll just put the book away for now.Maybe once I can save up some money,then I`ll go about contacting someone.The info you have given me really helps me out alot,I had no idea who the people were.Looks like it will be pretty easy to do once I`m ready.Do you live in that area or something?I`m just asking since you said it be easy for you to contact them.Once again,Thank you very much.
