    Generalleutnant Oskar Walther Gerhard Julius Freiherr von Watter


    Recommended Posts

    Gentlemen, I am trying to piece together the career of Oskar Walther Gerhard Julius Freiherr von Watter, but also of General der Infanterie Ernst Theodor Freiherr von Watter, Generalleutnant Hermann Freiherr von Watter (1848-1911), and Generalmajor Kurt Freiherr von Watter. With Oskar I am coming along quite well, BUT I cannot find out anything about his family. Father? Mother? Wife? Children? Any help would be very much appreciated!
