To add to the subject, I remember that prior to being reborn in 1991, I absolutely, categorically didn't want to come back. I felt that the peace up there was a lot more enjoyable that the suffering we go through on earth. However I have to bow down to the wisdom of the one that convinced me...

Hello everyone! I wanted to paste here the details of the historical research I have conducted to trace the military career of Eugen, from 1934 to 1943. I was sharing it on a private conversation but I figured that it might be of interest of everyone. He was trained in Bavaria, going to the...

I am white, French from my father's side, English from my mother's side. My French family is from Burgundy/Franche-Comté, as far as my research led me. They were wine-makers, until the industrial revolution when some of my ancestors moved to the industrial city of St-Etienne, close to Lyon, to...

Good morning everyone! I hope the subject I am raising is not going against the rules of the forum - if so, kindly let me know and I will get rid of the thread. The topic I wish to raise in this thread is the relationship I have with my past 'identity', and how acknowledging him has led me to...

Hello Emmelyn, and welcome! I relate a lot to what you describe, as the emotional side of those memories is probably what surprised (and still does surprise me!) the most. Anyway, you're in good company, and I wish you well in your journey. Looking forward to read what you wish to share, if...

Salut! Ha yes, the physical ressemblance. It's funny because I don't really look like my parents. The day I found Eugen's name and cause of death in a book, I managed to find a picture straight away on internet, and while it was somewhat low quality, I still could recognize myself on it...

Jupiter11, I was thinking about you this morning, and I hope that you are doing well! I remember that you were going through a lot of tough emotions last time we exchanged. I pray regularly that you, and others, will be supported and cared for in this hard journey to the past. How is...

Dear Tanker, Yes indeed! I do know what you mean by that. It was a carefully crafted regime, and the aesthetics were indeed a strong part of the whole recipe. The uniforms, and the large rallies are what I remember the most. It did make you feel part of something much larger than your own...

Dear all, Following was what rightly said by a fellow poster in this thread, I was reading today a very good article in the Guardian on the aftermath of the Great War. Here is actually a quote that I found extremely well written. Just so you know, the author here was an editor of an English...

Hello Bellona! I did not remember precisely where it was from. I had to learn it, although I had a glimpse of a name that started with K... I thought it might have been Koln, when in fact he lived most of his adult life in Kiel :)

I completely agree with what you said here Tanker, unless one has experienced it, it is impossible to accurately describe how unlike a mental recall it is. I actually describe them as physical experiences, as I often could feel the clothes I was wearing, or the air temperature, the cold feeling...

Salut! Oh I have a funny relationship with the german language. I do speak very decent german now, with fairly good pronunciation, but I learned it at school during nearly 10 years (even though I never was a top student). I also spent a whole month in Frankfurt-am-Main, working there as an...

Hey Jupiter11! That's super interesting, what you said about synchronicities. I've had so many in my process! Especially with dates: -my birthday is the 6th of June, D-Day ! -Eugen Kunstmann was born 9th of November. Since I found his name on his birthday, I find it very interesting because...

Hello! You are in good company here. Thanks for sharing your story with us, and I wish you a lot of peace from reading other people's experiences. You are far from alone in remembering a plausible past existence in a war. I do understand you perfectly when you talk about the sorrow and sadness...

Hello! Ha, the thing with gear. Somehow it always popped into my life. And most of them before I was acutely aware of when and were my memories were from. A friend of my dad is a collector of german weaponry (ww2 era), and many times in my youth I went to visit his museum or personal...

Hey Kalos! Always nice to read you! Hope all is well. I find it fascinating that you share such a close bond with your old identity. The memories pre-war you mention are extremely interesting. Mine are somehow more sparse. I told you already that I feel that the memories I was allowed to...

@Jupiter11. Hey Salut! I can only give you one advice: take your time. The memory you carry won't fade away, it won't disappear, and you are now on a process of research that (if it goes like me!) will take some time. You seem like a very sensitive person, engaged in what I'm sure is a life...

One more thing, about what you said: You said that you are basically still experiencing the pain of not keeping the promise you made in your letters. Have you wondered about what the people you sent the letters to think of this ? Don't get me wrong, but I draw a parallel with my own story: I...

Salut! It's a pleasure to share with you. I know we're both young, we're both from France where, well... I mean it's the country of René Descartes. We are taught how to sharpen our intellect and fit into a rational perspective at all times. So yeah, when all of a sudden you realize what is...

Hello! Thanks for your message! As for your question, related to if there is some continuity in our personas... I do feel a very close bond to him. I won't go into details about what I do now, but maybe this "leader" aspect has somehow carried on. I was always the kind of kid to organize...
