Tony Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) Does anyone know anything about the name below? I think it says Clauß. Did he really exist or is he a made up Generalmajor? I've had a look in my Ehrenrangliste but couldn't find him, this doesn't mean he isn't there though. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Glenn J Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) Hi Tony, Generalmajor Eugen Ritter von Clauß, 25 Oct 1862-23 Feb 1942. He is on page 775 of the Ehrenrangliste as commander of the 6th Bavarian Infantry Brigade in 1914. I was in your part of the World today. Visited Bielefeld to check out the Landesgeschichtliche Bibliothek. Regards Glenn Edited November 1, 2023 by Dave Danner fix diacritic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
