KIR Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello Chris,he must captured by the battle against the fortress Tsingtau /China:"Eins?tze des III. Seebataillons. Die gro?e Bew?hrungsprobe f?r das Bataillon kam mit der Verteidigung der Festung Tsingtau gegen die Japaner im I. Weltkrieg. Ab 16. August 1914 war das Schutzgebiet seeseitig und ab 28. September 1914 auch landseitig eingeschlossen. Von da an lag es unter dauerndem Beschuss und erlag in der Nacht vom 06. auf den 07. November 1914 den japanischen Sturmangriffen nach Verschie?en der letzten Munitionsbest?nde."Source: http://www.marine-infanterie.de/html/4_10.htmlThis page (I think) you already know: http://www.tsingtau.info/index.html?namen/r.htmBest regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
