    Joachim Kupp, nephew of Mrs. Christel Nierhoff, the original owner of an accordion lost during World War II, (US) Lieutenant General Scott A. Kindsvater, and his family inspect old photos of the Kupp family in front of their old house in Schleiden, Germany. General Kindsvater inherited the accordion from his grandfather who found the instrument with a fallen German soldier during World War II. Mrs. Nierhoff is the younger sister of the accordion’s original owner; General Kindsvater returned the instrument to symbolise the long-standing and cooperative relationship between the two NATO Allies.
