Description
George Holzle, was born in 1927 in Augsburg Germany, by November 1944 he was called up for service.
After a short stint in a replacement unit he was promoted to Officer Cadet and sent to: ROB Lehrgang für Infantrie VII Lenggreis.
According to my research this unit was plunged into action in 1945.
This unit fought at the beginning of April 45 on the Tauber and was also largely destroyed there, part of it came to the Heilbronn area, including to the 246th VGD and in the Jagst-Kocher area, including to the 553rd VGD.
The remnants moved through Niederstetten, Craislheim, Rothenburg o.d. Tauber, Schwäbisch Hall, Rems-Murr-Kreis Gaildorf, Aalen, Heidenheim, Ulm, Günzburg, Mindelheim further back into the Alps.
Hölzle survived WW2 and died in 2001.
