Lt. Konrad Lambrecht and his wife

[azyeoman]

I wanted to get at least one group of medals with lots of paperwork and this is what I ended up with. Sadly I don't know German and so can't figure out the details about this man and his wife other than the very obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Bernhard! This opens up an entire new world for research. I wonder if that was the norm for PoWs to be released over a year after the war ended. Flanders and Cholm I'm familiar with, but Pripjet Swamps is a new one for me. Can you tell me what he did in WWII? Thank you so very much again.
