Major Hans Grau & Colonel Wilhelm Grau

[Bob Rodgers]

Please help me locate the information on these 2 officers ( Father & Son )

Major Hans Grau & Colonel Wilhelm Grau

[Rick Research]

Grau is an extremely common name and 99.9% of period sources (Rank Lists etc) do NOT list first names.

What CLUES have you got? Time period? Branches of service? Known information? Got a uniform photo of the pair? Prussians? Bavarians? Saxons? Who was papa and who was son?

[Bob Rodgers]

They served in the army

That's all i know of them right so far

I heard from another person that they might be father and son?


Also that they were the only ones with this name in the ranks list?
