Backtheattack Posted January 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2017 When I visited a new little museum at Köditz, 5 kilometres west of Hof/Northern Bavaria, I read the story of a local resident dealing with the end of war at Köditz. I was familiar with this time because I have a copy of the 537th AAA Bat. in my archive. From the diary: "..we moved twice on the 15th, to Schelgel (correct is Schlegel near the highway 9 Nürnberg-Berlin) and then to Koditz. The security guards on B-9 halftrack shot and killed a german soldier when he failled to halt at beeing challenged. The 90th division infantry where now fighting in Hof.." Here is the sketch the man did: You can read "Panzer", this is the halftrack in the report, 2 is the place of the german soldier killed, "Kirche" means church. Here is the place today: nearly the same sight as in 1945, church at right, and at the corner of the church place "2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
