turtle Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Unfortunately I placed this in the wrong section an first. Sorry!! I´m searching for information on Rittmeister Karl von Klewitz from the Württembergisches Dragoner Regiment Nr. 25. He was born in Slawentzitz, Cosel. He was the CO of the Polizeitruppe in Deutsch Neu-Guinea in 1914 and a POW in Australia. Any further information is highly welcome, especially his date of birth, awards etc... Thanks in advance!!
