Hi,

I have been searching for quite a while about Karl Klotz, but (oddly enough, as he was one of the last Wehrmacht generals), information about his last years is scarce. According to ABR he died in February 1999; according to this forum post he died in München. I haven't been able to verify the latter personally, however correspondence between Klotz and various authors in the 70's–80's indicate that he indeed lived in München.

Always helpful! :)

GL August Wittmann (* 20.07.1895 München; † 29.03.1977 Glonn bei München) [I have seen the nonexistent place "Glonn–Gräfelfing" as a place of death in Die Ritterkreuzträger der Deutschen Wehrmacht 1939-1945, apparently it meant to be Glonn bei Grafing (Roland Kaltenegger in Das Deutsche Alpenkorps im Ersten Weltkrieg lists "Generalleutnant a. D. August Wittmann, Glonn bei Grafing.")]

In addition, the dates of death for GM Hermann Zuleger, GM Dipl.–Ing. Leo Zanssen, GM Georg Zwade and the place of death for GM Karl Zukertort were recently posted in Balsi's forum by forum member "racker". Apparently the come from "Sammlung Dr. Henrich" — I was unaware of the existence until now, so this certainly was a pleasant surprise to me (I couldn't say if this and "Sammlung Krug" is one and the same).

Sammlung Krug & Sammlung Dr. Horst Henrich (+), Offenbach, are two different animals.
My co-author Andreas Schulz and myself do use both.
Henrich has also many data concerning general officers in Polizei, SS, Militärverwaltung (MVCh and MVVCh) etc.
