Born in Offenburg/Germany in 1959, I am particularly interested in the history of my native town and that of the surrounding region. So any subject connected with the Black Forest region is something I would claim to be particularly fond of, next to aviation and naval subjects. My strict policy is to only contribute to Wikipedia articles where I can be absolutely certain to have a sound knowledge in the areas I have referred to, and in which I can either draw from an extensive academic background in political science and history or from a rich experience as pilot, aviation enthusiast and former naval officer.
