Hello Mike,
Thanks for a very nice sequence, the guy certainly
got the works....

I wonder if any of those shown, both German and french, survived
the events in Caen a couple of years later.

Thanks again and glad you enjoyed.

Here is a photo of a battle field grave site in Witebsk, Welish, USSR in 1942. Buried here are soldiers of 2 Kp. Inf. Btl. 550. The Penal Batalion. The grave on the left, Schtz. KARL HOFBAUER is my uncle.

Neat picture AB.
Thanks for posting.....

For German purposes, what did the penal Units do ?
Not on a par with Russian mineclearing squads, IE: marching over them.

But was it hazardous duties? or dangerous combat missions. ?

CHEERS.

Hi Andrew, just curious was your Uncles body ever repatriated to Germany for a proper burial, or is it still somewhere in Russia
Thanks,
