He was a conscript who was born to a ethnically German family in Nieder-Ullersdorf (Dolní Oldřiš). This was part of the Sudetenland that was annexed by Germany under the 1938 Munich agreement. He was involved in the invasion of Poland, the invasion of the Netherlands, the battle of Dunkirk, and the battle for France. He was killed at 28 years old during the invasion of Russia under operation Barbarossa. The report from the Volksbund indicates that he died somewhere near “Nowel” which most likely refers to the village now called Nevel (Белор. Невель, Russian/Belarusian: Невель) in Pinsk District, Brest Region, Belarus — a small settlement southwest of Pinsk near the Belarus–Ukraine border (approx. 51.93°N, 25.85°E). His remains are believed to be buried in the war cemetery in Sebezh, Russia. https://cicmuseum.org/files/original/48c35303e0c118ecce24efa9996c42ab.jpg e5a85914cc713c4911962d589fc93102 https://cicmuseum.org/files/original/91a5b36a96d4a3f820c3790de7bd1dc9.jpg 5660a8c6d1a9ceb1b4154a1818efd483 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource US/British Safe Conduct Pass Leaflet for German Soldiers in Europe Subject The topic of the resource A common allied safe conduct pass dropped on German soldiers post D-Day. Description An account of the resource (Translation of the back side of the sheet) Principles of the Law of War Captives (According to the Hague Convention 1907, Geneva Convention 1929) From the moment of surrender, German soldiers are regarded as prisoners of war and fall under the protection of the Geneva Convention. Accordingly, their rights as soldiers will be fully respected. Prisoners of war are to be brought to collection points as soon as possible, far enough away from the danger zone to ensure their personal safety. They will receive the same food, in quality and quantity, as members of the Allied armed forces, and if sick or wounded, they will be treated in the same hospitals as Allied troops. Badges and valuables are to remain with the prisoners of war. Money may only be taken by officers at the collection points, and for this, a receipt will be issued. In the prisoner-of-war camps, sleeping quarters, allocation of accommodation, bedding, and other facilities are to be equivalent to those of the Allied garrison troops. According to the Geneva Convention, prisoners of war may neither be subjected to reprisals nor exposed to public curiosity. After the end of the war, they will be sent home as soon as possible. Soldiers are defined, under the Hague Convention (IV, 1907), as all armed persons wearing a uniform or a clearly recognizable insignia. Rules for Capture: To avoid misunderstandings during capture, the following is required: Lay down weapons, remove helmet and belt; raise hands and wave a handkerchief or this leaflet.

Title A name given to the resource Two Japanese Soldiers in Etchu Fundoshi Subject The topic of the resource This is a photo of two Japanese soldiers Etchu Fundoshi (loincloth underwear) wearing their helmets and carrying their Type 38 rifles with backpacks hanging off of the ends. They are also wearing their leather cartridge belts across their upper torsos like a bandolier. In the background there are some other soldiers and possible a mule near a body of water. Description An account of the resource The remnants of stickers at the corners of the photo indicate that this was taken from a larger photo album. Without the larger album for context, the soldiers names, unit, and location are difficult to determine. The grass seems more China or Manchuria than a pacific island, but this is only a guess. They might be getting ready to swim or bathe in the river. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Purchased from Vintage Productions at the Pomona Fairgrounds show.
