Helmutt Junker was born in Bavaria and lived outside of Munich.
His family moved from Prussia to Bavaria after WW2.
[…] he entered the Streitkräfte (German Army) with intentions of joining the Stadtallendorf (Special Forces Division).

Sorry to be nitpicky again, but since I live in a town outside of Munich myself I can’t resist.
1.) I’ve never seen the German name Helmut written with two t – but I guess that depends on the parents… http://www.heromachine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
2.) The German Army isn’t called “Streitkräfte” since WW2. Nowadays it goes by “Bundeswehr”.
3.) I’m not very experienced regarding German Special Forces Divisions, but afaik there is no one called “Stadtallendorf” since that’s just the name of a middle-sized town in Hesse – so not even in Bavaria. The only German Special Forces I know are the KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte) – a military special division with the focus on reconnaissance, counterterrorism, rescue, evacuation and recovery, command warfare, and military advice. They are stationed in the “Graf-Zeppelin” barracks at the (Baden) Württembergian town Calw.

No offense – just trying to help here. Feel free to ask if you need informations and facts about Germany and it’s neighboring countries … http://www.heromachine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
