Description
Anfang 1941: Emil Lux aus Remscheid muss - wie viele andere junge Männer auch - in die Wirren des zweiten Weltkriegs ziehen. Sein Einsatz führt ihn nach Russland. Auf dem Weg dorthin erlebt er viele Entbehrungen und die Schrecken des Krieges in ihrer vollen Härte und Bandbreite.
Dieses Buch über den Remscheider Werkzeuggroßhändler und Mitbegründer der OBI-Baumarktkette entstand, nachdem erst im Jahr 2016 das in Stenografie verfasste Kriegstagebuch in Klartext umgesetzt wurde.
Nachdem der Weg von Emil Lux im frühen 2. Weltkrieg nun als spannendes Manuskript nacherlebbar war, kam schnell die Idee auf, den Inhalt auch Familie und Freunden als Andenken an den berühmten Remscheider zugänglich zu machen.

Peter Jäger, born 1959: joined the German Airforce in 1981 and stayed in the armed forces until he retired in 2013 as a captain.
In these years he became metrologist. He served in the United States Airforce in the years 1984 and 1985 and was stationed at Lowry Afb in Denver, Colorado. Later, he lived in El Paso, Texas and Alamogordo, New Mexico for longer periods of time - always working as metrologist / calibration technician and quality management supervisor for the German Airforce.
He participated frequently at conferences like NCSLi or the Measurement Science conference and published several lectures. Finally, after his first book "Management of Test- and Measurement equipment and Calibration" was published he decided to publish the diary of his uncle, who died in WWII. The success made him publish another book: Inspired by his uncles diary he was asked to edit and publish the WWII diary of Emil Lux, the founder of Germanys OBI home improvement and DIY chain. Inquiries from his US friends finally made him translate the PFC Paul Velte Diary into English language.
