Personnel Panzerregiment 1
While working on the book, we reviewed hundreds of military and civilian biographies. We encountered many names and faces in photos, albums or in personal accounts. There wasn't room to include everyone in the book. Therefore, we will introduce people to you, who are not mentioned in the book, in greater detail on this page.
If you know people and stories about members of the regiment, you are cordially invited to share your knowledge with us. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Please click the photos to get further informations.
