Post by docarchiv » 01 Jul 2018, 14:42

Hello,
Germany has an army, which is called Bundeswehr. It exist since 1956 and is member of the NATO-Forces. I would like to use this topic to identify soldiers of this army. Many of them were members of Imperial Forces, Reichswehr and Wehrmacht and highly decorated.
Kind regards

I would like to start with some Generals of army and airforces, who I found in a small album I bought on ebay.
Perhaps someone can help to identify the men, some of them holder of the DKiG.
Kind regards

Hello,
bought some photographs of Generalleutnant (BW and Wehrmacht) Hans-Joachim von Horn. I ask for the name of the other general.

Dear Sir,

The general in post #7 is Jürgen Bennecke. He has the DKiS and the DKiG.
