Can one of the experts on retired military officers help me out.
General Hugo Grimme is it the same officer who, later served in the Luftwaffe born 6.11.1872?
Heinrich von Bunau I have a record in the SS DAL for 1938 of an Obersturmbannfuhrer born 23.1.1886 SS Nr 277342. IK 1 WW1
In the SS DAL for May 1943 a record of the same name but born 27.9.1873 in Altona Gen der Inf SS Of 20.4.1942. Died Potsdam 15.8.1943
Question which one is the picture that Gareth posted?
Is there a bio for Grimme and the General von Bunau?
