WW1 135th German Infantry, please help identify other group

[lhoffstadt]

Hello everyone,

 

I wanted to ask for some help please. My great grandfather name was Ernst Hoffstadt, he was born in Borbeck and he participated in WW1 and he appears mentioned on the following link.

I know he was part of the 135th German Infantry in 1915 and at some point he was wounded.

 

He is also mentioned again in 1918 as wounded, but I'm not sure if at this point he was still part of the 135th German Infantry or another group.

Could someone please help me try and find this?

 

I believe he was also decoration 3 times, based on what my father told me, he saw the medals, but they where lost in time and I didn't know what the decoration might be. Any recommendation where I can find any of this information please?

He also appears here

I would truly appreciated any help or information on this.

 

Thanks so much.

Later causality list have no regiment because the enemy used the lists as an intelligence source. 

 

Its almost impossible to find his awards if he was not an officer. From the denkmalprojekt link he seems to have been a Lt. And not a Lt. d.R., which would also be a little less less impossible.

Maybe the officers data collecting gentlemen here can help you, if denkmalprojekt is right.

 

Here: https://wiki.genealogy.net/IR_135#Literatur

is a digitization of the regimental chronic from 1922 linked, maybe you will find something in there.

@Bernd_W thank you very much for pointing me to that book, I see his name on the book.

For any chance do you know if the book can be downloaded completely for printing ?

 

Thanks

No, the German national library dos not offer this. Our former chancellor Ms. Merkel said once:

The Internet is uncharted territory, for everyone.

Well, not for everyone. But I cant upload it on this forum because its to big.

So I have to use this free Hoster, hope you can handle it:
