Default Germany's 'last' WWI veteran dies


Quote:
The man believed to have been Germany's last World War I veteran has died peacefully at the age of 107.

Erich Kaestner, who at 18 was sent to the Western Front but served only four months in the army, died in a Cologne nursing home, his son said.

It's very sad to see living history pass; adieu.
