Soldbuch / Documents to Oberstleutnant Kurt Sievers

[Edward]

Thank you Edward,

I had always heard that being placed on the Führerreserve was not positive but I am happy to learn more. I wonder if there is anything more I could learn about this man.

Your welcome Erich. I have seen cases where older individuals were placed into the Führerreserve and recalled later in the war. In still other cases being placed for a short period of time into a front reserve such as Führerreserve Afrika ect...after completing a school.

Good point, there were cases of some being placed into the Führerreserve due to any number of questionable reasons as well.

He was a pre-war officer so their is a good chance his service file is still available.

That's right.

I will be in Freiburg in a few weeks and will ask to see his file if possible. He has no living relatives.

As for his service in WWI - where could I find this information?

Usually you will find details of WWi, and post-WWI service administratively added into the file as well.
