CHRISTIAN HANSEN
(1885 – 1972) German general in the Wehrmacht who commanded the 16th Army. It, along with the 18th Army was cut off in the Courland Peninsula when the Soviets launched their summer and autumn offensives of 1944. It stayed trapped there in the Courland Pocket until the end of the war. A Knights Cross recipient. Hansen regrets that he has nothing to add to his correspondent's collection: '...I no longer have any other mementos from the years 1914-1945. After the fall, everything was lost. There are no more photographs of me, either...' Fine.
