Dear Forum,

My Grandpa was in 1944-1945 in the Kurland Pocket.
He wa there with the Grenadier Regiment 485.
He got there also his iron cross 2.Class on the 10.02.1945 as part of the 1.Kompanie Grenadier Regiment 485.

So the Grenadier Regiment 485 was part of the 263. Infantry Divison who was at the time due to google south west of Kalvene is that right?

His Name was "Franz Appell" born in Bielefeld. He was in his youth at the Unteroffiziervorschule Hannover and later at the Unteroffzierschule Düren and Lübben. In 1944 he went into the war. I know from his Storys that he was wounded and got home with the Boat "Tsingtau".

What i want to ask is, dos some of you Guys have images or informations about the Battles in Kalvene ? Azipute? I would really appreciate it!

Also if somehow someone has his Wehrpass please write me

Best, Luke!
