Hello All, I am still fairly new to this website, but I need the help and expertise of those here. I need help finding the military service records of two individuals I have known, one of which has passed away (May 2015) and hopefully a photo of them in uniform. My information on these individuals is limited due to the fact it was/is emotionally painful for these individuals to speak of the war. I wish to create a display dedicated to these great men to place within my collection and make sure they are not forgotten. Here is the information I have:
Friedrich Harder
- Saw action in the Battle of Berlin
-Was one of 3 in his battalion to survive
-Captured by the Soviets; escaped 3 times (Recalls being fed meat crawling with worms); Made it back to Germany
-Came to the United States in an unknown year
-Still alive
Heinz Mueller
-Saw action in Sicily, Italy
-Wounded by an American Grenade (He carried the fragments in his body for the rest of his life)
-Captured and sent to a POW camp in Britain(?)
-Came to the United States in an unknown year
-Passed away in May 2015
Thank you so much in advance for any help you fantastic people may provide, I know how great you guys are
