Gotthard Glas was born December 15, 1923 to Erich and Miele Glas in Weimar, Germany. By all accounts, his earliest years were the happy and carefree existence young boys have always known, spent in a farmhouse filled with antiques, nestled in the quiet countryside. All that changed in 1933, when he and all his schoolmates were hurriedly sent by their families to live in England.
