Hi guys,
Have never researched an individual soldier before and am asking on behlaf of a friend that I have met who's Grandfather was a well decorated German soldier in WW2. He is currently trying to research as much as he can as his Grandfather died when he was only 7 and he doesn't know anything of his time in the German Army (Wehrmacht)
Here are the details;
Kapitan Wilhelm Schulz - 170th infantry division, Artillery Reg 240
From his Wehrpass I know he fought in
1940 Jutland 9/4/40
France 23/9/40
Army group South, advance N Romania to feodosia
Crimea to 4/7/42
Army group North Leningrad (lake Ladoga)12/5/43 to 31/3/43
retreat to Vilna 13/2/44 to 21/8/44
retreat through East Prussia 8/5/45
He started as a gunner , artillery forward observer, ended up a captain 20/4/45
My friend has all his groupings - medals with issued cerificates and Iron cross... simply amamzing really
Tell me where is the best place to look for details and information regrding his grandfather??
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Justin
