    Mrs. Christel Nierhoff and her daughter, Mrs. Brigitte Nierhoff-Schmitz, view old photos of their family and of the house where their family lived when they lost an accordion during World War II. An address left on the accordion's case helped US Lieutenant General Scott A. Kindsvater return the accordion after it was in his family's possession for 74 years. He inherited the accordion from his grandfather who found the instrument with a fallen German soldier during World War II. (NATO photo by OR-7 Pia Dunkel, German Army)
