Planten un Blomen sounds Dutch to me; the German would be Pflanzen und Blumen. My brother worked in the European Patent Office (EPO) for a number of years, including a stint in the Hague. He said German and English are the perfect languages to learn Dutch. I could always make out what was written, but couldn't understand the spoken language.
Anyway, I was just curious. You also mention that you were 22 in 1945. That means you'll be 100 this year, if you haven't reached that milestone already! Allow me to congratulate you, to wish you a joyous 100th birthday and many more prosperous, healthy and happy years to come (predictive text put tears there and I almost missed it 😄. Mind you, I hope not, but it might have been apt). All the best
