    Oberstfeldmeister Alexander Lübcke

    Hi guys,

    Just picked up a nice RAD grouping to Oberstfeldmeister Alexander Lübcke a RAD man from 1933-45. Lots of entries in his Dienstausweis.

    I've probably scanned more than I needed to, hope it's not a problem. Can anyone give me a brief synopsis of what this guy was all about?

    Cheers,
    David.

    PS. Check out the photo in the wehrpass, duelling or did he go through a windscreen?

    At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'
