Dear all,
I am searching for information regarding my grand-father. We have a Wehrpass from him, with no further details inscribed, I contacted WASt, they have no information, and I contacted the local DRK authorities (in Thueringia), using the picture attached without any result as well.
I am pretty sure that he was not in the Wehrmacht as an enlisted DRK member, but stayed at home. He was a "Groupfuehrer" with the DRK, and received the KVK 2nd class without swords. We also know that he was imprisoned from 1945 - 1947 in KZ Buchenwald by the Russians (unfortunately there is no reason given on the documents we found in Buchenwald), and we also know that he was not a party member.
Could anyone think about another organisation where I could try to obtain information about him? I just would like to know what he actually did in the DRK.
Thanks for any help
Dirk
