    Mrs. Christel Nierhoff, the original owner of an accordion lost during World War II, Ingo Pfennings, Mayor of Schleiden and Mrs. Nierhoffs nephew Joachim Kupp inspect the old accordion lost during World War II. US Lieutenant General Scott A. Kindsvater inherited the accordion from his grandfather who found the instrument with a fallen German soldier during World War II. General Kindsvater returned the case to Mrs. Christel Nierhoff, the younger sister of the accordion’s original owner, after it being in his family's possession for 74 years.
