Leopold Brodmann in the Austro-Hungarian army during WWI [1914-1918]

That’s my father and his company in the Austro-Hungarian army during WWI (1914-1918). I don’t know where the picture was taken.

My father was an actor - a great, famous actor. He really was something special. He beamed when he went on stage.

He was an actor with all his heart and soul. My parents met in Bad Hall. My father was on the stage, and my mum was sitting in the first row.

For my dad, it was love at first sight. And my mum immediately fell for him, too; he was a wonderful man.
