For those of you who might want to find out a little more about me, here is your chance to check me out at your leisure. You don't have to buy a book, or try to remember what someone said. Often the truth gets a bit distorted coming down the human pipeline. The following pages will give you the statistics of my history, ministry, as well as a little of my philosophy.
The reason I go by the name of von is rather logical when you look at the German name my parents gave me. Baron, Erhardt George Anton Wolf Trutzschler von Falkenstein is an impressive name but way too heavy to carry around. My father came from Germany in his late teens and I inherited his big name when I was too little to object. I, or rather they, changed my name from Erhardt to von when I entered the army. The formal name I go by now is Erhardt, von Trutzschler.
