Hello All!
I am looking for any additional information on the career of Hans Keller. I have looked at the info on this site: rank, DOB, post-war fate and that he served in Norway, as leader of Amt I/II in BdS Oslo (I think).
Anything else to fill in the gaps would be most appreciated.

Hi Doc
If you give the bio data which you have found, especially DOB and POB - to help people identify which Hans Keller you are researching, I reckon you'll find people quick to fill in the story. Good Luck
