Prewar with the Fallschirm-Infantrie-Kompanie.
Pelz was later killed in Italy in 1944.Olt Pelz owned a little dog,named Seppl,who had his own little parachute and would jump with him.FIK members have said later that Pelz's reasoning behind having Seppl jump(which he loved to do and often tried to jump out the door sooner than they wanted him to)was to show the men that if even a dog could do it,they should be able to do it much better.
