    Karl Bürger

    Dear forummembers,

    I have a burning question : Who has some information about this fellow:

    Hauptmann Karl Bürger, inhaber des Deutschen kreuz in gold.



    I only know that he has won the DKIG and that he was an Hauptmann...

    I've got some feldpost to and some more pictures....

    I can't find him anywere on the web, I don't know if he was killed or how old he was and I really want to know.


    Thanks and merry christmas.

    About 20 Karl Bürger are listed in the Volksbund list as KIA in WW2 but I could not find a Hauptmann among them. Most of the Karl Bürger are listes without any rank.

      allright thanks so far, i have some feldpost from him dated from after the kursk offensive so I know he survived operation Citadelle.

      I was hoping he survived the war.

                  there is only one Bürger listed in the '44 rangliste and he was an infantry officer promoted to major effective 1.8.43 so this could be him. ie. being awarded the DKiG and promoted at the same time. Also, as his unit is given only as Gren.Rgt.17 then it could be that he was acting as regimental commander at the time, a hauptmann is too junior for this post on a permanent basis but a major would be acceptable

                    Yes, 2 days differends, between major promotion and DKiG awarding.

                      Promotion dates are not necessarily the dates they were actually promoted.
