1er BFM Commando and a capture RKT

[leibregiment]

My knights cross came with a story in that it was taken in 1944 by a member of the free French commandos in 1944, (the RKT was captured, wounded but later died) this would have been during the Vlissingen or Walcheren campaign, any chance anyone has information on who it may be, many thanks, Paul

Any idea if we're talking NCO, junior officer, senior officer and which branch of service?

Thanks Simon, as the story was related to me, it belonging to a "German officer"

Interesting story i'm living nearby Flushing and never heard of a german RKT officer how has been died from his wounds. Maybe Hans Houterman or Hans Sakkers could help you they are well known writers especially with the battle of Walcheren they have doing a lot of research. Send me a pm if you like and i will send to you their personal email address,
Regards Christian
