My Pioneer group

[jcsanche]

Hi

I would like to share with you guys my small pioneer gruppen. It consist of 8 tunics. I love named tunic as I enjoy the thrill of trying to find the soldier.

The first tunic is belong to Hans Bessel. He was a pioneer General.

He won the German Cross in Silver. I am always looking for photos or information on him. I have copy of his military records, but only one photo ( Verlag book)

He was born in 1893 died in Koln in 1979

thanks
