Re: Veterans Day
It is also known as armistice day in some countries, the day World War one ended. A celebration of the ending of a terrible war. It has become over time a celebration of honeroring all war veterans past and present but I think still also a day of peace and rememberance of all those that died in not ...

Re: German officer serving in regular French army after WW2
Yes he was born in Alsace while it was part of Germany (1897 to be specific), served in the 1st world war as a German officer. Here comes to mind another thing, since he was born while Alsace was part of Germany he would have been a German citizen but until he completed the "réintégration"...

I know very little of his service during WW2. No one ever talked about it and now there are few family members that could remember as most of the remaining one were little kids during that time. I know during his service in WW1 he was in the cavalry. There are absolutely no pictures of him from 1939...

A few months ago I found paper work showing my grand father servering in the French army from 1946 to 1949. He served in the German army from 1916 to the end of WW1 from 1939 until the french s...
