Hi,
Thank you so much for this new information! This definitely sheds more light on Hanne-Lies' life, and what became of her after her last public appearance affiliated with Hans-Joachim Marseille in 1967.
Do you know if Hans-Rudolf Marseille mentioned anything else about Hanne-Lies during...
Thank you for the recommendation! I have also created a thread in the Axis History Forum regarding this topic, and am looking forward to hearing from them as well. However I thought I would create a thread here too in case someone on this forum was able to help or would be able o to provide me...
Hello,
I am conducting historical research on the life/times of Gerhard Martin Sommer, and I am looking for information on his second wife as well as his daughter who was born to him after the war.
So far, I have been able to find that Sommer was married once starting in 1939 to a woman named...
Another picture of Hans Joachim Marseille and Hanne-Lies Kupper with another couple and their child, presumably taken during Marseille's vacation to Bad Saarow during his leave in 1942
Also another interesting fact that I found recently: I was on a genealogy website called MyHeritage and I found some documents related to HanneLies' first husband, Cesar Renato de Bahar.
I also found that he had apparently been living in Germany for quite a while as a "Musikverlager" (since...
I really think that someone ought to do another biography of Marseille that not only focuses on the biographical aspects of his life but the psychological ones as well...the way I see it there are two distinct sides to Marseille: the person he was before his sister died and the person he became...
I was going through the Hans-Rudolf Marseille interview footage (i seriously wish there was a sound version available!!) and I found a picture of Charlotte Marseille with another woman, probably taken later on in life after the end of WWII.
Could this be HanneLies? (she would have been 53 in...
Another piece of information I wanted to share from my recent research: I found a youtube version of the documentary done in the late 90s about Hans Joachim Marseille:
However, the documentary is dubbed over in Russian so I was unable to understand it. So I forwarded the video to someone I...
This is the snippet of the von Lattorf family tree where Leopold von Ledebur's name shows up, as well as that of Inge Marseille.
I also found an article about Leopold von Ledebur on the Axis History Forum where it states in detail his time of service and whatnot, and it does show that he was...
I also found some interesting information regarding HJM's older sister.
So in his biographies it's stated that he had a sister named Ingeborg who was 2 years older than him (born in 1917) and that they were really close.
However, in Walter Wubbe's book, instead of referring to her as Ingeborg...
I found these two pictures in an interview done by Marseille's half brother Hans Rudolf Marseille
They are apparently from the Marseille family album...
It's too bad that the interview had no sound, otherwise it would have been interesting to hear what he had to say about them.
I think maybe it was more about getting married in general than whether he was an SS officer or not...according to the book, Martin Stephani was in the music department of the SS so he was not directly involved in genocide and other things as much as the average SS man was...additionally he too...
