Unconfirmed data

[edit]

Sorge was drafted in 1915. The claim, that he was in the army from the beginning in 1914 as Volunteer is dubious. Besides that, who knows that he was hit by a "british" grenade ? And what has the Battle at Bazentin Ridge to do with the Vermandovillers-Soyecourt-Ablaincourt area, where Sorge apparently was fatally wounded and died a short while after receiving the injury ? (Bazentin is north of the Somme, some 25 km distance to Ablaincourt, which is a few km south-west of Péronne, south of the Somme !) I wonder who places that kind of misleading info, besides the fact, that not even Sorges unit is given. Detailed information on most dead prussian soldiers of WW I - at least, if we assume he was a prussian soldier - is hard to grasp, at first the question to which regiment he belonged to. --Oenie (talk) 20:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

this point is cleared now (pruss. RIR 69/15th Reserve Division) --Oenie (talk) 19:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
