Any Information on a Father/Son Heer General - von Molo

[DonC]

Dear All -

Looking for any information, photos, documents or materials out there concerning Generalleutnant Alois Josef Ritter von Molo and his son, Leutnant Friedrich von Molo (later Oberstleutnant in the Bundeswehr and a leading personage in the Johanniter Order).


As always, any and all help is much appreciated!

Commander
Generalleutnant Alois Josef Ritter von Molo (15 Mar 1941 - 1 Apr 1941) "

Don,
Ran across this if it helps -

Division Command z.b.V. 444: Generalmajor Alois Josef Ritter von Molo (This staff served as the 9th Army’s Heimatstab or Home Staff Unit, which managed the assembly and loading of all troops, equipment and supplies; provided command and logistical support for all forces still on the Continent; and the reception and further transport of wounded and prisoners of war as well as damaged equipment. It maintained loading staffs at Le Havre, Boulogne and Calais.)

Thanks, Rich. von Molo died in 1943 in Stuttgart - he was retired by that time, so I am wondering if he was ill or had been wounded - he was only 61 when he passed away. I couldn't find any other commands other than 444.
