    - 1940 took part in the campaign in the low countries and France. (Got EKI) as an "Oberleutnant"
    - 1941-1942 "Winterslacht im Östen" outside Moscow as a "Hauptman"
    - 8 April 1943 dies in hospital in "Orel" because of severe wounds. Buried in a military cemetery in "Ljudinowo" near Orel

    Known medals: - German Cross in Gold (18. mars 1943)
    - Iron Cross first and second class

      Vielen Dank Johannes !

      The links gave me good information.

      Could you advice on any vet organisations where I could try to trace any former Inf/Gre reg 337 members?

      Best regards

        Hello Terje,

        I have on volume of the Deutsche Soldatenjahrbuch (1995). At the end there are several pages with a list of vet-organisations. One for 208. ID is mentioned. Unfortunately it is one of the few without an adress. There is none for IR 337.

        I send You a PM with an adress that might help further.

        Johannes

          Mr. Skagen,
          I realise I'm 3.5 years late, but I have sent you an email about your grandfather and his unit.

          Anyone who can help me to information, documents, photos, ... about IR337 and the whole ID208 (IR309, IR337, IR338, AR208) during the may 1940 campaign, is very welcome!
