Dear Members,
I'm from Germany and this is my first time posting in your forum. Glad to be here
.
For quiet some time I have been researching about my grandfather, Kurt Geiler, born: 12. Sep. 1921. I am hoping to find someone here, who could help me with this.
A request at the german "Wast" brought the following:
1939: 3. Ausbildungskompanie Flieger/Regiment 21 Magdeburg
(Erkennungsmarke: -474- 3./A./Flg./Ausbildungs RGT 21)
1940: II Stuka Geschwader 2 „Immelmann“ / Luftflotte 3 / Westen VIII Flieger-Korps
1941: Reservelazarett 101 Berlin/Charlottenburg
1941: Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern
1944: stationed at Fliegerhorst Welzow, Germany
1945: rank: Feldwebel
1945: released from 71. Inf. Div. PWTE in Ulm, Germany
From my family it's told, that he crashed in march or april 1945 near Dresden Klotzsche and was badly wounded.
He was, I'm assuming not the whole war though, a gunner.
Thank you in advance
and
best regards, Richard.
