Time to kick this back online.

Who do we have here?

/Marcus

[Marcus]

He was awarded with oak leaves to his Knight's Cross, he fought in the Netherlands, Crete as well as Anzio. After the war he became a general in the Bundeswehr, a rank he did not reach in the Luftwaffe. In the Bundeswehr he would command an airborne unit like he did in the Luftwaffe.

[Marcus]

He received the Knight's Cross while serving in the Fallschirmjäger-Sturm-Regiment after the Crete campaign.

A Sturm-Brigade was named after him and was used to form one of the last FJ-divisions.
