These complaints kept him away from frontline duty, but they didn’t stop him from serving the Fatherland by joining the German Red Cross and becoming a sanitats, medic. He was trained as a stretcher bearer and served for a while in the Staff Company of his replacement battalion. In March 1943 he departed to the Eastern Front on Military Hospital Train B502. He would remain stationed there rising to the rank of Obergefreiter until his discharge in August 1945.<o></o>

He spent the majority of his career in Luftwaffe Construction Battalion 10. Initially Bernhard’s unit served on the Home Front, probably preparing Flak emplacements, air raid shelters, searchlight emplacements and so on. His unit was later transferred to the Western Front where they spent two years probably preparing airfields and involved in the upkeep of said fields and Luftwaffe installations. In April 1942 his unit was transferred to the Eastern Front to carry out duties in the rear areas of the Ost Front.<o></o>

It was for this action that he was awarded the Hindenburg Cross. As a trained soldier he was called up in August 1939 but had participated in manoeuvres as a reservist during 1938. Due to his experience he was enrolled as an NCO and also received training as Accounts and Pay NCO, he was to finish the war with the rank of Oberwachtmeister. He began his war service in Germany providing support to various flak emplacements in the Home Front; it was for this service that he was awarded the KVKII with swords. In August 1943 his unit was transferred to Greece and was to remain in this theatre of war until the end. His unit formed part of 19<sup>th</sup> and then 20<sup>th</sup> Flak Divisions. While deployed in Greece he was involved in the disarming of the Italian Army in Albania after Italy had capitulated. From then until his discharge on the 15<sup>th</sup> May 1945 he was involved in operations in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary. He was wounded on 13<sup>th</sup> February 1945 and was awarded the Wound Badge in Black a month later as a result of his wound.<o></o>

The 52<sup>nd</sup> was a second wave Division and spent the Polish campaign in training. The Division was combat ready for the Invasion of France and Heinz saw his baptism of fire in Luxembourg and at the Maginot line. Heinz also participated in the last battles in France south of the River Aisne. His division was in action until the signing of the Armistice and was then given garrison duties in the Cote d’Or area of France and then security details along the Demarcation line with Vichy France. With the advent of Barbarossa the 52<sup>nd</sup> Infantry Division redeployed to the East where it was in the OOB of Army Group Centre. It was attached to 2<sup>nd</sup> Army and followed the Panzers into Russia. Heinz was involved in the encirclement battles of that summer and his Division wound up on the Moscow Front, involved in Typhoon and the subsequent Russian counter offensive. It was in the bitter fighting to fend off the Russians that Heinz fell in action at Chwoschschvoka on the 5<sup>th</sup> March 1942<o>.</o>

During the winter of the Phoney War Josef received training in infantry anti-tank weapons and he was to serve in the infantry anti-tank companies during the war, though he only had one field unit. He was also a qualified driver who also received instruction as a messenger and a field cook, an obvious legacy of his civilian life. His only service posting was with 14<sup>th</sup> (Panzer Jager) Company of IR 257. His unit formed part of the 83<sup>rd</sup> Infantry Division and he marched into France along with the rest of his comrades as part of the Sixth Army. The 83<sup>rd</sup> was only involved in the second half of the subjugation of France passed through Orleans and crossing of the River Loire. After the Armstice with France had been signed, the 83<sup>rd</sup> was given garrison duties in North-Western France and then from July 40 onwards on the Atlantic Coast. The Division was then stood down and reorganised prior to Operation Barbarossa. At this time Josef was transferred out of the division and placed in reserve mode. It seems he stayed in rear echelon units during the course of the war. He was medically tested several times during the war but was never again declared k.v. He apparently suffered from cardiac problems and was only certified for labour duties. He was employed as a messenger and a cook. Some of his duties must have taken him near to the Front as he received the War Merit Cross Second Class with Swords on the 20<sup>th</sup> April 1945. He seems to have survived the war.<o></o>

He was medically inspected three times during his military career and was never passed fit for frontline duty. He spent the whole of his career in Nachrichten Regiment 12, which provided signals to Luftgau XII, where he was a radioman and rose to the rank of Obergefrieter. Initially the unit was stationed in Geissen and then moved to Western France where it remained until 1944.Karl was discharged from the Army in March 1943 but was inspected medically again in 1944, testament to the chronic shortage of manpower in the Wehrmacht at the time. He still was not declared fit for active duty and was only declared fit for labour duties and it is quite probable he spent his time clearing bomb damage and digging anti-tank ditches.<o></o>

His initial service was with a signals company and there he was trained in the use of short range and medium range telephone equipment. He was quickly transferred to Schutzen Regiment 304, part of the 2<sup>nd</sup> Panzer Division and was soon training with his unit in France in preparation for Operation Barbarossa. Unforeseen circumstances, however, meant that Karl would be seeing his first taste of action during Operation Marita and the invasion of Greece. 2<sup>nd</sup> Panzer Division was part of the panzer schwerepunckt that swept aside Greek resistance and was instrumental in the occupation of that country. Upon successful conclusion of said operation, Karl went into OKH Reserve along with the rest of 2<sup>nd</sup> Panzer. Initially it carried out occupational duties in Poland before moving to South West France where it was refitted and then sent to the Eastern Front to help shore up a panzer arm that had suffered great casualties in the Barbarossa battles. It was deployed in the area of operations of AGC and was involved in Operation Typhoon initially in the Vyazma encirclements and later as part of XXXXVI Panzer Korps push on Moscow in November. It was during these battles, during the Russian Rasputista, that Karl fell in action on the 27<sup>th</sup> November 1941 at. He was awarded the Panzer Assault Badge posthumously.<o></o></td></tr></tbody></table>

He began his military service with training battalion on the 13<sup>th</sup> Artillery regiment and later moved to the signallers section of said unit and specialised as a telephone operator. When Hugo finished his training he joined the 4./Rgt 114. Artillery Regiment 114 was part of the 46<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division, a unit with a long and distinguished war record having been in action since September 1939. By the time Hugo joined the regiment (19<sup>th</sup> October 1944) it was deployed in Hungary under the command of 6<sup>th</sup> Army. The Wehrpass does not give any more information of Hugo’s career but the 46<sup>th</sup> Infantry was involved in the early engagements of the Battle of Budapest. There is little to tell of Hugo’s war service as probably the chaotic situation of 1945 did not allow administrative clerks to fulfil their duties. It is likely that Hugo served in the signals platoon of the battery he was posted to.<o></o>

He was conscripted in February 1942 but had previously worked on strengthening the fortifications on Germany’s borders, for which he was awarded the West Wall Medal. He served his training with Jaeger Ersatz Battalion 355 and then begun his active service with the 7<sup>th</sup> Company of Infantry Regiment 89 which formed part of the 12<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division. He first saw action in the Eastern Front after the 89<sup>th</sup> Infantry Regiment had refitted after its actions at Demjansk. He was involved in the general area of operations of AGN and in defending the II Army Korps front. He was then transferred to GR 376, 225<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division, which was then deployed in the Leningrad region. It was while serving with GR 376 that he was wounded by shell splinters to the arm and was forced to retire from the Front due to his injuries. As a result of his service in the Leningrad area he was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class and the Wound Badge in Black. His wounds apparently stopped him from returning to frontline service again and he received sentry and guard duty training before serving with Landsschutzen Battalion 682, responsible for duties in Wehrkreis X. It is highly probable that he served as a guard in the POW camps of the Hersfeld area. As the war advanced closer to Germany’s borders, Wilhelm was once again called to serve in one of the many ad hoc units thrown together during the late war period.<o></o>

He stayed with his RAD unit until called into the 251<sup>st</sup> Ersatz Kompanie in October 1941. Upon completing training he joined the 13<sup>th</sup> Company of Infantry Regiment 36, part of the 9<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division. At this time the 9<sup>th</sup> was part of 17<sup>th</sup> Arm, Army Group A. The Army Group was engaged in the Rostov-Krasnodar area of operations, most notably the advances into the Caucuses and the Kuban regions of the USSR. Freidrich would have been involved in the battles around Rostov, the Dontez Bend, Don River and the Kuban. Freidrich was killed in action on the 29<sup>th</sup> August 1942 at Nebersschajewskaja. <o></o></td></tr></tbody></table>

Declared fit for duty in August 1941 he first joined a territorial unit were he received basic instruction and training. He then was transferred to the Sicherungs (security) troops. He first served very briefly in France providing security for the rear areas of Army Group B. His unit (Radf Regt 2) was then transferred to the Eastern Front, more specifically to the rear of AGC at Orsha. His unit was now part of the 286<sup>th</sup> Sicherungs Division and was involved in keeping the supply lines to the front open and in fighting the partisans, referred to the Germans as banden (bandits), bands that lurked in the rear of the German frontline. We do not know the reason given as to why he was discharged on 6<sup>th</sup> October 1943; maybe the reason lies in his line of work. Albert survived the war and continued to live and work in Berlin.<o></o></td></tr></tbody></table>

He enrolled on a technical college and this influenced his initial military training when he was conscripted in 1938. He was not called up until the completion of his studies and his first unit was an engineer training and replacement battalion. He received basic military training as well as more specialized engineer training dealing with obstacles, water crossings and planting explosives. He then transferred into the reconnaissance units of the 83<sup>rd</sup> Infantry Division. By the time Hermann joined the division it had already been battle hardened after the campaign in the West and a of year fighting in Russia in the Velish region. His first taste of action was in May 1942 in defensive battles around Velish and Velikiye-Luki. The Red Army launched diversionary actions on this section of the front to divert attention from their failed offensive at Kharkov. Hermann received a wound to his hand during these actions which caused him to have his left thumb amputated. As he recovered from his wounds he was stationed in a convalescent company tasked with security duties in the rear of Army Group Centre, partisan country. He rejoined the 83<sup>rd</sup>, now in the Nevel area of the line and was once again part of the reconnaissance element of the division. Again Hermann was involved in defensive fighting as the Russians advanced westwards after the failure of Operation Zitadelle. In October the 83<sup>rd</sup>, and Hermann along with it, was subordinated to the 16<sup>th</sup> Army, Army Group North. The inexorable Soviet advance began to set the seeds of the Courland Pocket, in which the 83<sup>rd</sup> Infantry Division would end up. Hermann however would not see these actions. On the 8<sup>th</sup> December 1942 he was wounded in the back by shell splinters and was hospitalised in Field Hospital 1/872 in Dorpat (Tartu). At 16:00 on Christmas Eve 1943 Hermann gave in to his wounds and died. He was originally buried in the Nevel Military Cemetery but now rests in the German Military Cemetery in Tartu, Estonia.</td></tr></tbody></table>

He was a university student that did his service with the RAD between 1942 and 1943 until he was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in August 1943. He was obviously a very technical minded young man as he served in the reconnaissance battalion of the 12<sup>th</sup> Panzer Division. As well as basic training and qualifying on the MG 34 and MP 40, Gerhard also received extensive training on radio equipment and was proficient in a variety of radio communication devices. Gerhard joined his field unit in early July 1944 when the 12<sup>th</sup> Panzer Division was part of 2<sup>nd</sup> Army facing the Soviet attacks against the left flank of Army Group Centre. The 12<sup>th</sup> Panzer was a veteran division, originally having been the 2<sup>nd</sup> (Mot) Infantry Division with a proud war record stretching back to the assault on the West in 1940. Gerhard and his unit were gradually pushed West by the relentless Soviet advance. By this stage of the war the Wehrmacht’s panzer Divisions were used to shore up a crumbling front line and had long shed their early war flamboyance. The 12<sup>th</sup>, like her sisters, was no different. Involved in local counter attacks, rearguard actions and hasty withdrawals the 12<sup>th</sup> Panzer gradually withdrew West through the Baltic States and into the Courland Peninsular. As the borders of East Prussia got closer the Red Army intensified its advance and simply bypassed the majority of Army Group North which thus found itself cut off in an ever shrinking perimeter that held out until the end of the war. Gerhard ended up in the Courland Pocket and here the dwindling number of vehicles of his division would fight on. Gerhard was part of the 1<sup>st</sup> Company 12<sup>th</sup> Pz.A.Abt equipped with armoured cars or armoured personnel carriers. He would be involved in the early battles of the Courland Pocket until his death in action on the 15<sup>th</sup> November 1944 in Mezkurst, Latvia.<o></o></td></tr></tbody></table>
