USMC.......yes, I stayed in Flensburg for about a week doing this any reminescing of the hotel buys of years gone by. I used to go there many years ago with Heinrich Lutjens, the nephew of Gunther Lutjens, the commander of the Bismark. He introduced me to many contacts there that led to this SS police officer. I have many fond memories of those times and of the time I met his daughter. The police chief acted as my translater ans I learned pretty much of what Jensen was like. He is buried in a church cemetary with his wife. She told me of seeing her father with this pistol as he put it on to go out. She often wondered what happened to it. What I gather is it was taken from him upon interrogation by a British officer in his home. I bought it from the Brit through a friend of his. I was intrigued by the possibility of finding out about the SS man himself and that's what started my search. Times have changed so much since those days.....we can't go and find things like this anymore. The German collectors have pretty much caught on to the value of militaria and have bought up most of what's left. plus the Euro has outpaced the dollar to where it's just not economical anymore. Hope this adds a little more to the background. Thanks for being interested.........Mike
