This article is purely a historical knowledge post and is by no means a declaration of the Nazis. Please understand history and recognize the sins of fascism.
This recent series of articles introduces German soldiers who have won the highest medal of merit in World War II, but are not very familiar with them.
Do you still remember Dr. Franz Baker who introduced to you before, who was a promising job that was not done by dentist but was going to fight a tank? The person I want to talk about today is almost exactly the same as Baker's experience. He is Lieutenant General Carl Maus, the seventh armored division commander.
Karl Mauss was born in a traditional military family in Prussia. His father later became a German lieutenant general. Influenced and influenced by his family, Mao Si yearned for his military career since he was a child. During World War I, he joined the army and bravely won the Iron Cross Medal. At the age of 17, he was promoted to second lieutenant. Later, he fell down during a flight training and was seriously injured. He was lucky enough to die. After the truce, he left the army and entered , Hamburg University, and studied dentistry and obtained a doctorate.
After the defeat in the first battle, Germany was in a recession and the people were living in poverty. However, as a doctor of dentist, Maos lived a very comfortable life. After Hitler came to power, he began to expand his army, and Maos could not sit still. In 1934, he joined the army again and began his legendary journey from a dentist to a general.
As a highly educated talent, Maos will naturally get more opportunities in the army, but he is by no means a small bureaucrat who relies on his diploma to earn qualifications, but he has won the promotion and rewards with his brave charge. In addition to the most advanced Diamond Oak Leaf Shuangjian Knight Medal , he has also received a bronze melee medal for ordinary soldiers. You must know that this medal must have participated in 15 melee bare hands to obtain it. This shows the courage and strength of this intellectual, a typical Germanic desperate Saburo.
After the outbreak of World War II, Maos, who served as battalion commander, participated in the Polish and French battles. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, he had been fighting on the Eastern Front, fighting with his brave spirit and outstanding military talents. In 1944, he was promoted to the position of commander of the 7th Armored Division. The former division commanders of this division included famous generals such as Rommel and Mandofir . From January 1944 to March 1945, Maos had been serving as the division commander of the division intermittently.
Why is it intermittent? Didn’t I say that the division commander loves to do the most is to fight with the enemy on the frontier positions like ordinary soldiers. His famous saying is, “The command center should be located in the place where the gunfire is the most intense, and the commander should be with the soldiers.” Naturally, he was often injured and lost his left leg. The last time he was injured was on March 25, 1945, but he still lay on a stretcher to continue commanding the battle until he was unable to support him.
After the war, Dr. Maosi started his old career again - a dentist. His superb medical skills are highly praised by the majority of patients, but what flows into this person's bones is not the blood of a doctor. When the National Defense Force was established in 1955, the 57-year-old was eager to try and sign up for the army again. After being rejected, he was indignant, "This is the biggest insult to the veterans"!
In 1959, Dr. Maosi, known as "one of the most prestigious leaders of the army's ", passed away at the age of 60.
