I just got Lohmann-Hildebrand from my local library (all three volumes). I tripple-checked volume 3 where he should be mentioned. But I didn't find him anywhere! I know for a fact that he was reactivated for WW2. Perhaps my copy is incomplete. Could anyone check for me, please!

Thanks. That was fast! Anyway, you forgot to mention sources. Could you please add them? Would be great. I always try to double-check any addition to the biography. Not that I don't trust you! I wondered about the lack of decorations as well. Just two before WW1 started and only 1 or 2 during it... Considering his influence on the war... I've send a research request to MOH, let's see what happens. Any closer info on his capitvity (date of release)? Haven't had time to call the Red Cross yet. FYI: As far as I know, he sold "Bergfrieden", or least he tried to... He wanted to move back to Germany anyway because his wife was sick. And he later led the "Kolonialreferat" in German War-Navy Command. Drago

Hi, I'm currently working on creating a biography of Werner Schoenfeld, who played an important role in WW1 in German East Africa. There, he most of the time was involved in artillery. He joined the war as a retired naval officer and planter, in 1917 he surrendered with most of the Western Forces (with those he was the leader of the eastern column) at Rovuma river. He later was interred in Sidi Bishr POW camp in Egypt. I'm interested in every information you might have on him, texts and pictures. I already worked through Boell's "Operationen in Ost-Afrika". Please include source (literature, Internet links etc.) Thanks! Drago
