      Can anyone confirm if this is the same Wilhelm Buddenberg who was born 27th July 1914, died 14th February 1992 and had a postwar career in politics including Bürgermeister of Nordhorn (1968-1971)? He served in the Infantry as an officer and was badly wounded.

    5. Would anyone be able to fill in the gaps for this Hauptmann please. He is listed in Offizierstellenbesetzung 03.01.1939 as Hauptmann Moenting with 2./Artillerie-Regiment 30 but after that I can not find any details.

      In the 1941 DAL there is one Moenting listed as a Major, and again listed in 1944 as an Oberst with a pre-war assignment of Kdtr Prag so I am not sure that this is the same person.

      The only person listed in Volksbund with that name is a 57 year old female (poor Else) killed in 1945 and there is no 'Moenting' listed as having won the DKiG, RK or Ehrenblattspange.

       

      Any details would be gratefully received.
