Italian General Edoardo Sito-Quarra

Website says : 1936- 1942
General Officer Commanding 153rd Infantry Division "Macerata".

I have recently found him via Google books in command of Piazzaforte di Tripoli(Líbia) unclear in what period but probably at War beginning. 153rd Macerata Division was only formed in 1941.

Hello Steen,

Do you have any information on Generalleutnant Hans Schäfer, who commanded both 332. Infanterie-Division and 252. Infanterie Division which you could upload to your site? There doesn't seem to be much information about this man online.

Many thanks.

You did a great job, Steen! I use your site regularly.

Thank you very much – Good to hear that you have found it useful.

I have been working hard on getting new information, and I have today made an update of the database. More than 1000 new generals have been added to the database - primarily Chinese but also a considerably number of British and US generals has been added. Besides adding new generals a lot of information has been added to the existing ones – again it is mainly the British, Chinese and US sections that have benefitted from this update. More than 300 previously faceless generals are now with a photo.

I hope that you will continue to find the database useful.

Thanks Steen, great service.

After a long time preparing it a new update was made yesterday. More than 400 generals have been added to the database bringing the number up to 21502 generals covered. I added photos on more 500 generals.

Otherwise a lot of information has been added to the American, Chinese, French and Japanese generals.

Enjoy.

Hi Steen,
