    The grave of General Kurt von Briesen (3 May 1886 in - 20 November 1941) Commander of the 30th Infantry Division in the invasion of Poland in 1939 and France in 1940.

    Its place in WWII History has to do with a parade in Paris, in June 1940.

    Hi there.

    Very interesting and thank you for sharing!

    I found a casualty card for him.

    It looks like his place of death is recorded as 3km südosten of Andrejewka.

    PS. I don't know if Alamy Stock Photo images can be uploaded. But there is one of Marshal von Rudstedt visiting his grave. This is it.

    Default General(s) von Briesen

    If memory serves me right, Kurt von Briesen and his father Alfred von Briesen had the unfortunate distinction of being the only father and son duo both killed in action as general officers in World War One (Alfred) and Two (Kurt) respectively.
