German Panzer Vetrerans Living in U.k
 
I am carrying out some preliminary research into German Panzers for a project I have in mind.

Does anyone know of any former German Panzer crewmen, mechanics or Panzer grenadiers that retired, and are currently living in the U.K.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks, David.

David, do you mean Germans or soldiers of German army?

Hi Franek,

Apologies, I meant former soldiers of the German Army who were in the Panzer Korps either as crew members of the tanks themselves, ground crew who serviced the tanks or foot soldiers who provided protection for the tanks ie Panzer Grenadiers.

I am looking for former veterans who now live here in the U.K I hope this is a little clearer.

All the very best, David.

Then you have a chance amongst Polish veterans, a few thousands changed side during the war, and some possibly settled in the UK. You may try Polish Institute. Unfortunately I know only of two infantrymen, with limited combat career.
