Stew Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) I am a newby and need advice on where to progress my search for a SERVICE RECORD on GENERALMAJOR VOGT. I hope that this is the correct GMIC forum to ask for help? I have been to Germany last month and met GM Vogt's great grandson . To date I have obtained the following information from the family records and ahnentafel : Ludwig VOGT Rank Generalmajor - German Army , World War 1 Born 10.3.1873,Kaiserlautern(Pfatz) Died 8.8.1957, Berlin,Wilmersdorf . Buried Parkfriedhof Bln,Lichterfelde. Awards received EK1 Any further information and particularly his service record or advice on how to progress my search will be most welcome. I attach a photo of GM Vogt (sorry for the poor quality) best regards, Stew Edited April 15, 2010 by Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
