Hi Harmel!

I have also seen the name "Meyer-Buerdorf" in several sources. But in the last Reichsheer rank list (01.05.1932) as well as the last peace Heer rank list (Stellenbesetzung 1938) he is listed as "Meyer", just blank Meyer without Buerdorf.

Best!
J.

Hi Jurgen, I did not know that info on Meyer,
I wonder what the change was for,maybe
changed it back for family reasons,maybe someone
can provide the info.In the book I have on him IM
ZEICHEN DES SCHWERTES 131st Inf Div,he is named
as Buerdorf.
Kind Regards Harmel :D

Evening all,

Nafa62 is n o t Kurt von der Chevallerie. Kurt earned his Ritterkreuz as General. Moreover the soldier does only have EK1 and EK2 1939 but not EK1 and EK2 1914 (like Kurt).

Best!

RKT27, p. 92 is not Chappuis
nafa27, p. 95 is Chappuis

CA95FNZN is Kuno von Both
