This article is special for me because my boyhood friend and neighbor, Don Doenitz, is a direct descendant of Admiral Karl. We grew up just two miles apart in Central Illinois and have been friends for 70 years. Several years ago Don gave me a copy of this issue of Armchair General.
That is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Did he tell any stories that can be repeated here?
Don did not personally know Admiral Karl because his parents were already in this country during the war, but he and his brother Floyd did several years ago go back to Germany and connect with some family members who are still there.
I’m not sure how Don came to have copies of this magazine issue but he gave me one a few years ago when I visited him. I’m in Indiana and he is in Oklahoma, so we don’t get together often.
