Paul L Murphy Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) This lot belonged to Friedrich Dennert who ended the war as a captain in the 27th Infantry Regiment. I have not yet started to research him in any detail but I am sure there is plenty of good stuff to dig up.

David Gregory Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Paul,That is an excellent group.You are lucky to have the Friedrich cross award document as part of a group, since the single documents usually feature no information other than the name of the recipient and the award date.Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 27 was part of 7. Infanterie-Division and later transferred to 211. Infanterie-Division, both of which spent the entire war on the Western Front.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
