Generalmajor Otto Freiherr von Pechmann?

[landsknechte]

Looking for pretty much anything that's out there on the history of Generalmajor Otto Freiherr von Pechmann (1874-1959). I'm drawing a lot of blanks.

Thanks,

HI Chris

Ill be happy to scan for you whatever Keilig has on him when I get home this evening. Wolf Keilig, Die Generale des Heeres 1939-1945 (Dorheim: Podzun Pallas Verlag, 1983)

Usually its 5-6 lines of highly abbreviated text on each Heer General

It looks like FK 598 was located in Bastogne/Belgium at the time he was its commander:

I see you got all the info from Keilig

Bundesarchiv Militararchiv Freiburg has most of the Heer generals´Personalakten. These are a treasure trove of info, include the photo in most cases and full military career from both wars etc etc
