From Chemnitz to Quesnoy-sur-Deûle 2024-08-04 15:54:23
Jürgen Schmieschek recently wrote a piece aimed at local audiences in Chemnitz, introducing the remarkably well-preserved Soldatenfriedhof Quesnoy-sur-Deûle (divisional cemetery of 40. Infanterie-Division until summer 1916) and the wider history of the Chemnitz regiments IR 104 and IR 181 in the Ploegsteert Wood area. You can download it in both English and German HERE.
Saxons in Ukraine (1918-1919) 2023-11-12 15:31:08
Stand To! Number 132 is a 'Ukraine special' and features a new ten-page article by Andrew Lucas on the experiences of Saxon 212. Infanterie-Division in Ukraine between April 1918 and March 1919 - as the dates indicate, their return home after the war was not straightforward! You will find extensive bonus material for the article HERE, including additional maps and photos.
Arno's War now in PDF form 2023-04-16 14:11:18
My six-part series on my Saxon Great-Grandfather's war (originally written for Colonel Joe Robinson's WW1 German history Facebook group) is now available here in slightly updated form as downloadable PDFs. This is intended to make the content available to a wider audience again since the group (which we highly recommend to our readers) became members only.
