Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Hi guys
I understand that Oblt Einsidel was executed at Morlaix in 1942 'for cowardice in the face of the enemy.' Can anyone provide any information? What actually was his crime? What unit was he with? What was the date of the incident? What was the date of his death? Cheers Brian

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Interesting to know if there links to Heinrich, in terms of regime loyalty (or higher principles)?

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
I have a book by Count Heinrich von Einsiedel, "The Grandson of Bismarck", titled: "I joined the Russians", after being shot over Stalingrad. Are they related?

I suspect they were brothers.

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Hi Ruy
I've been Googling without much success, but it doesn't appear that Heinrich and Georg were brothers, not even cousins! Unless, of course, someone can prove otherwise. Any information would be great. Cheers Brian

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Bonjour,
For information, Heinrich Graf von Einsiedel was born the 26th July 1921 in Postdam, just near Berlin, so it could be possible that Georg Graf von Einsiedel was his brother...? Fredo

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Interesting,
doesn´t look like they were brothers or cousins indeed. I also exclude possibility that Georg was Heinrich´s uncle: http://worldroots.com/brigitte/royal...eldesc1848.htm But coming back to the original question. Since Georg was an officer, there is a chance that Bundesarchiv in Freiburg might have his personal file.

Re: Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942
Hi
There should also be documents with regards to a court martial, probably also in Freiburg. Regards, Andreas B
