Hi everyone!
My name is Matthew Siemens, I'm a Canadian, but my mother is a Transylvanian Saxon(ethnic German) from Romania. Recently during some family research I discovered that my Grandfather had be in the Waffen-SS during WW2. Now this is something that had never come up before and my mother hadn't even heard about this. Doing some more digging I managed to pull some pictures together of him in his uniform, and I was hoping the knowledgeable folks here at this forum might be able to give me a hand!! I appreciate it immensely... he died over 30 years ago and I never got the chance to meet him. I really want to find out more about where he was and what he was involved in during the war if at all possible.
Thank you so much!!
Here are his particulars.
Name: Friedrich Schell
Born: Waldhutten (Modern day Valchid) Romania January 29, 1921
That's really all we know about him before the war.
Here is a link to a picasa album picture of him in his uniform...
