SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein Wounds
It is reported Hermann F was wounded three times; and I do not know if the Left Thigh wound from the July 20 assassination attempt is part of the three or a fourth.
I know two were from Snipers and one is reported to have been a severe arm injury.
My question is to anyone that knows how to research this in official documents, can you find or do you know the exact location a nature of each wound?

Georges, thank you sire.
Do you know if it is a dead end to look for the exact location on the body of the wounds?

Re: SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein Wounds
I find it interesting that someone who held a rank equivalent to Major General was wounded so often and so many times. Surely he would be operating from a command bunker rather then a front line trench. In any case does anyone know what his particular wounds were, given the times between them I presume they were rather minor and probably shrapnel related.

Re: SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein Wounds
The location and damage are crucial to my research.
I have been told one sniper shot to the arm was severe, and the July 20 44 was Left Thigh but I need more precise information if anyone knows anything.

Hermann Fegelein appears to have suffered a broken arm during the 20 July Plot.
I found the image here, but it was later removed.

Mabus, interesting. Strange he might get this and the thigh injury with Günsche and von Below between him and the bomb.

Re: SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein Wounds
Dieter, thanks for the info. The image I found was labeled as "wounded at Rastenburg". Since it wasn't his left arm that was injured during the 20 July plot, I assume the image with his injured left hand is from 1943?

Thank you sir, very interesting information. I am particularly looking for information on a groin would.

Any photos of him wearing the July 20th Wound Badge?
