Larry, I'm sure you know that Berta Krupp, from Essen, was an Eickhoff. "Big Betha", as she and the WW! German railcar mounted gun named for her were known... and there was a reason for that. The large painting of her on the wall at Villa Hugel in Essen is painted horizontally, even though she was standing up. J
ReplyDeleteYes, we told our Ranch hand that Helen was a descendent of the Krupps. Larry
