Yes, it does. It appears to me that Edmund Zich was returned to Germany in 1955, after being in Russian captivity as POW, then he and his family emigrated to Hamilton, Ontario. Whether I am correct or not, it is an interesting historical anecdote of those very difficult times.
My very first girlfriend was the daughter of a German SS officer who had been imprisoned somewhere in Canada during WWII. Upon his release, he stayed in Canada and married a Canadian girl. I was 14 when we were seeing each other, a very ephemeral relationship consisting of sitting together during school lunch, together at recess, and walking her home after school. I never met her parents, but I will never forget her.

Ah Benque ...
I had a girlfriend like that when I was about 16. We went to the same youth club, and we walked home together afterwards. Every time we crossed a road, I switched sides so I was on the outside of the pavement, and i noticed that when I did that she also switched her bag to the other hand so that the hand on my side was empty. Unfortunately I was too timid to take her hand, so nothing actually happened. But I thought about it a lot, and like you, I've never forgotten those moments.
It was a year or two, and a different girl, before I plucked up the courage to make the initial move. I haven't forgotten that evening either.
