This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

If the obvious answer that the Nazis took him and killed him isn't good 
enough, there is one other possibility -- he has somehow transformed 
himself into the young woman, Gertrun.

There are obvious issues of age and appearance, but Gertrun is of the 
S___ family, and so was Ernst. There's something at the end about 
"What's more disgusting, a man in a dress or..." and mention of 
werewolves. It's barely possible. It looks like Gertrun and Dr. Cooper 
became lovers, though...
