    WWII German Generals book


    Recommended Posts

    Hello

    I am looking for a textbook that will list all the German Generals from WWII. I am especifically looking tp get more information or photos oh pioneer General Hans Bessel.

    I have already copies of his military records, but I only have one photo that I got from axis research forum.

    thanks in advance

    Was that the portrait from the ongoing Biblio Verlag army generals biographies?

    That tends to be THE standard source for such information.

    His WW1 awards were:

    Prussian Iron Crosses 1st and 2nd Class

    Saxe-Meiningen War Honor Cross (SMK)

    1918 Army Black Wound Badge

    and

    Austro-Hungarian Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with War Decoration (?M3K)

    Hi Rick

    The only photo that I have is from Axis Biographical Research

    If the book have more I would like to buy it. Ihave not find it in amazon.com.

    I also found that he was involved in the construction of the Gustav line.

    Keilig (my own "most recent" ARMY General source ohmy.gif ) came out in 1958, so the ongoing Biblio Verlag volumes, which I gather are being posted on that website with some uncreditted "copyright issues" is much more recent, as well as detailed.

    Nothing will be as detailed as the Biblio volumes.
