Hello, I am not sure if this thread is still in use. I believe that Douglas Mullock may be my great grandfather. Abs wondered where this information came from? As I have been struggling to find much about him to confirm.
Dave, I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of the signature of the Guard to Anja's Father who was 10 years old when WW2 ended and can better read old German handwriting as he learned it at school. As soon as I get a reply I will post it. Regards Tom
David, Anja's Father sent me this reply tonight. Looks like his name was Kurt Rakuschan. "Zu Deiner Frage nach dem Namen des Obergefreiten glaube ich folgendes: In Süddeutschland gibt es eine Firma mit dem Namen Kurt Rakuschan" This ties in with an earlier post and perhaps the firm in South Germany is related to the Guard. Hope this help's you. Regards Tom
The first name of the guard was most likely not Markus. Markus is a German name of the 1960/70tees. not 1900 to 1920. Stefan.
