Also, are there any breeders still holding onto lines from these dogs?

Hello Friend, I can tell you about Mink, but not the other two. Here's a link to a website having information on him: https://www.vonforell.com/mink-vom-haus-wittfeld-von-forell/ Mink vom Haus Witteld lived in the early 90's.
Ed Frawley of Leerburg Kennels had a son from him, named Otis.
here's his pedigree: https://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=302-mink-vom-haus-wittfeld?_v=20171016014127 I had a Mink great grandson, with Setty Leerburg, daughter of Otis, son of Mink, as the mother dog.
High prey drive and aggression. Aloof. Was said to be a hip improver. His qualities varied with the quality of the female he was mated with. He was a very influential dog of the late 80's and early 90's in that he appears in a lot of pedigrees of that time period. He adds a good dose of hardness and aggression and seriousness to his offspring. More of a police dog than a sport dog in many ways. I only had a great-grandsdon, so I can't speak about the dog himself. That was around 2001. Mink himself lived too long ago, to have any influence today. My dog Andrew was full brother to Axle vom Rolling Acres.
If he is any pedigrees, he would be 6 to 8 generations back in time at this point, too far away genetically speaking to make a difference at this point in time. He was born in 1982, so you're not going to find anything recent.

You can add to the list Ellute and the Korbelbach lines (particularly the T litter of Timo, Toro and Troll) and maybe UFO van Guy's Hof. UFO worked very well and had longevity, which is a marker for health. I personally like an old DDR dog that is hard to find. Zorro com Laager Wall. Produces smart, malicious dogs...

Surprised you don't mention Lord v Gleisdreieck. He's in a lot of pedigrees.

I have lord & Zorro in my dog's pedigree, both twice but 7 gens back. https://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=3116523-lechoshlaw-vom-hilla?_v=20220526194358
I can attest to the intelligence, but my dog is golden-retriever level social out and about / on neutral ground. However, he has potential to be quite civil in the work if fostered. I can see a lot of hidden sleeve work or prey guarding creating a dog that looks for bites at any given moment. I have elected to use him as a sport dog, but if you come in my house or car that's another story. He's not that man eating type of dog to go to war though he enjoys pacing the fence waiting for someone to cross it.
