    Photograph of Generalmajor Wilhelm Klein (09-09-1887) ?

    I am looking for some further info and hopefully a picture of Wilhelm Klein when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht

    I know allready some details

    I know that he was transferred into the Wehrmacht Heer.
    I have been told he recieved the (honourary?) rank of Charakterisierter General-Major.
    He supposedly (allthough retired) was connected somehow to Infantery Regiment 44. Is it possible to confirm this?

    As I do not know much of the Wehrmacht Heer I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me find more on Wilhelm Klein after his transfer into the WH.

    Also I would be most appreciative if somebody has a picture of him wearing WH uniform

    thanks !

        Hi Mark,
        Thanks for your reply.

        Is there anything more known about Klein after 1938 when he was re-activated.

        It seems that from july 1938 untill may 1944 he was in full active service.

        Any idea which units he commanded or belonged to ?
