At most 18 in 1945, a higher chance than now for sure but not hugely probable, a lot lower than having been 18 in 1839 even for example.

- pfdietz 1y agoIt looks like he was born in 1924 (if the picture at the bottom has him being 2 years old in 1926). This was just within the age cohort of maximum risk, with 35% of German males born in 1924 dying in the war. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7668418/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7668418/ I find a person with his name, born in 1925, died in the war in July 1944: https://www.volksbund.de/en/erinnern-gedenken/gravesearch-online/detail/a4693e2fe5772918139d02a2a8f77fa2 https://www.volksbund.de/en/erinnern-gedenken/gravesearch-on...
- pfdietz 1y agoUpdate: the picture at the bottom is actually from 1927, not 1926 (it's the April 1927 issue of Moderne Welt.) Going missing in Krakau on July 1, 1944 is weird, as the Red Army was still well to the east, where it was destroying Army Group Center in Operation Bagration. Minsk had not yet fallen. Maybe this guy deserted?
