German general staff officers in Tunisia 1943
Re: German general staff officers in Tunisia 1943
Info I have seen has Major WIedermann as the Ib, 21. Pz-DIv. in Tunisia in 1943 and being captured. However in his memoirs Luck places him in the same position on D-Day in France and says he was later a Bundeswehr general. Anyone have any info on this?

It is claimed that Stauffenberg took over as Ia 10. PzDiv on 14.02.1943, but the KTB PzAOK 5 still mentions Moll as Ia on 15.02.1943.

There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.

No, if he was captured in may 43 it can not be Lerch (he was still active in 1944). So Lerche is OK (but I have him as Hptm.)

Hello!
