[Angel Farré]

I'm looking for info and pics from this particular company as I have the Wehrpass from Feldwebel Konrad Pfister, DKiG with this unit on January 19th, 1.942 and killed just 7 days later.

Thanks

Thanks Tommy, but my request was more from determinated actions or other Wehrpass pages from members of this particular company/regiment also if someone has pictures from them. I'm trying to find some stuff related with my DKiG groups as I have done research on them but lack of pictures is the weakest point of it. I put more groups in the coming days.

Hello Angel.

All right.I hope i have something.

[Angel Farré]

And you have, but I have his Wehrpass and almost all his previous service was with other unit, he served in this unit from August 26th, 1.939 till his death, priviously with Inf.Rgt. 110 Heildelberg then 5th company, the Ersatz Batallion and the 7th company on Inf.Rgt. 485, the Wehrpass has an impresive detail of his combats till his death, if you want I can put some scans.
