Stress was born January 9, 1926
and got his nickname as a child
because he looked like a well known german politician he told me.

After the german occupation of Denmark it was difficult to go to sea and see the world, he said to me,
and so his sense of adventure led him and some other young men from Køge to join the British Army as a Gunner (nicknamed Stoffer)
no 1419 5666
He served 27 months Bet. 1946 - 1949
44 Field Regiment Royal Artilery
Canterbury and served in Germany and Palestine.

He worked at Køge gummifabrik
and in 1955 lived at Gyrelvej 17 Køge

He married Margit who died in 2002
and they had two children Jan and Jette

When I started on his family history, because he was my wife's uncle,
he was very helpful and informative.

He had a long term chronic illness and did very well to live so long as he did.
His Køge garden was always ful of flowers, neat and well tended

He was one of eight brothers and sisters and only Kirsten Kristoffersen. the youngest, remains.
