Claudio Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Dear forumites, My latest purchase... a lovely photograph of Leutnant Heinrich Wolfgang von Abendroth, text on the reverse:Heinrich von Abendroth – erlitt den Heldentod in Süd- Westafrika am 4. Juni 1906” (Leutnant Heinrich Wolfgang von Abendroth, geb. 1883, fiel am 04.06.1906 beim Sturm auf Sperlingspütz / DSW / Namibia) Anyone could give me more details on von Abendroth "brief" career or deeds? Thank you in advance for all your comments and inputs! ciao, Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Claudio, Here it is: http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/volltexte/2006/103391/pdf/A000000107.pdf Page 15.

Claudio Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Lebensdaten der auf dem Ehrenfelde D.-Südwestafrikas gebliebenen Offiziere : 1904 - 1907; zum Gedenkblatt http://edocs.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/volltexte/2006/3391/ Well, well... I am suspicious that after all he didn't die during the attack in Sperlingspütz: so heroic his death might not have been... in fact most of the German soldiers in the colonies died from sickness rather than in combat. ciao, Claudio Edited January 19, 2014 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
