Our man was born on Bielefeld on June 6th, 1.920 and was an student, evangelic and single. His father was Reinhold (in the Kriegsmarine reserve) and his mother Herta and he has a good level in both English and French languages.
He was an active member of the HJ from April 1st, 1.933 till September 26th, 1.937 as per his attention in an SS admittance document.
Not only a member of the HJ, but also a sport lover as we could see, he was awarded the Reichsportsjugendabzeichen on December 8th, 1.936 after passing the mandatory test during the months of June, 20th and 23rd, September, 26th, and October 2nd.

Than he maintain several letters with the unit regarding his admission, when and where to incorporate and what he need when he went into service. In those letters we find signatures from commanders of the Artillerie Regiment 73, two dated June 22nd and September 5th, 1.939 signed by Oberst Albrecht Baier who ended as Generalleutnant and commander of 297 I.D. surrendering to the US Army not before winning the DKiG on August 31st, 1.943, she rank and commanding the 342 I.D. and one dated September 10th, 1.939 signed by Oberstleutnant Max Eichstädt who had recently took command of the unit (September 6th) and who will be posthumously promoted to Generalmajor after being killed of route to Africa as commander of A.R.33.
