Hi, it is no longer there, but it was captured during the 1940 invasion of the low countires by the german paratroopers, but where was it? or has everyone got bored?

Thanks, Jerry

 

It was captured by the 5/ fjr rgt 1, under command of OberLeutnant Straehler-Pohl and it commanded a field of fire at the Northern end of a road bridge near a rail bridge over the river Maas.

Ahh, poor Jerry. You must feel alone in this thread.. Your always having to answer your own questions. hehe, maybe try to be little more easy on us.

clue# 2 - Was indirectly involved in the July 20 plot with other resistance members in France

 

ok clue #3 - he is associated with Rommel in France.

 

okey.. is anybody there???

i'll practically give this one away... He was Rommel's chief of staff . Has was the one who called Rommel at home (in Germany) informing him of D-Day landings. He was arrested by Gestapo for involvment in july 20 plot.


Rommel's last letter to Hitler was pleading for this man's release on October 1st, 1944. This letter sealed rommel's fate. {no punn intended}. 13 days later Rommel was dead.

He later escaped from captivity and surrendered to allies..
