[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello readers.

A recent addition is the Militaerpass of Gefreiter OTTO II, Konrad who was born on 26 April, 1893 and served in a Schwere Minenenwerfer Abteilung of 5.Armee ( Kgl.Preuss.Minen-Werfer Kompanie 221). His Pass contains a very detailed list of the battles and actions he participated in. He was hospitalized with influenza in 1918. Otto earned the E.K.II.
