Scotland

Searching for attractions in Scotland, I came over this story:
At the age of 19 Heinrich Steinmeyer, a soldier of the Waffen-SS, arrived in Scotland as a prisoner of war. He never forgot what happened to him there.
Now the village of Comrie is happy about his donation.
The small Scottish village of Comrie can look forward to a financial stroke of luck: The "older" inhabitants of the village have recently received an inheritance of 384,000 pounds (equivalent to 458,000 euros). It comes from the former Waffen-SS member Heinrich Steinmeyer, who last lived in Delmenhorst near Bremen.
Steinmeyer, a former docker who died in 2014 at the age of 90, bequeathed to the Scots a small fortune stemming from the sale of his home, his other possessions and his savings. He wanted to thank for their "friendliness and generosity" during his time as a prisoner of war at the end of World War II, write British media.

A visit to the cinema broke the ice
Steinmeyer was captured in France towards the end of the war, when he was only 19 years old. From there, he was taken to the prisoner of war camp Cultybraggan at Comrie. "Throughout his imprisonment, Heinrich Steinmeyer was amazed at the kindness the Scots brought him," said Andrew Reid of the Comrie Development Fund, which now manages the heritage.
Apparently, the prisoner Steinmeyer and the youth of the 1,800-inhabitant village quasi on the chain link fence, where they came into conversation. "They heard that Heinrich had never seen a movie before," said George Carson, whose father George Carson was apparently close to senior Steinmeyer. "They took him out of the camp and took him to the movies - he was completely overwhelmed by the experience."
"I would not have expected this"
Steinmeyer himself is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying, "Cultybraggan was a holiday camp compared to the fights before, the whole place was so beautiful, all of that touched me a lot, and I figured damn, why did I fight in this bloody war, the people there were strict to me, but always fair, I did not expect that. "
After the war, Steinmeyer initially stayed in Scotland, later returning to visits repeatedly. With about five families, "Uncle Heinz," as his nickname was, remained in closer contact, with Christmas regularly sending gift packages back and forth.
The proceeds of his estate will now be spent on the decisions of the local community for the elderly residents Comries.
This is "a come together" story, don´t you think?
