Yes that is the video.  I have an old fellow who is narrating it.  He 
recognizes a lot of what is on the video so can describe it I both 
German and English.  It is a great historic piece and I would like to 
put it all together. People who are old enough and lived there are very 
few now. So from my point of view it is kind of important that it be 
done.             Doug
