Bremer, Friedrich, born on 19-06-1886 in Göttingen, as the son of a gym teacher, joined the Army on 17-06-1904, at the age of 17. Friedrich was a Fahnenjunker in the 13th Hohenzollernsches Fußartillerie-Regiment.  As a Oberleutnant and 26th Field Flyer Observer, he entered World War I, but he is shot down  and in Frenche captivity until the end of the war. He remained in the new Reichswehr and climbed up to the rank of Generalmajor in 1937 and commander of the 3rd Artillerie Kommandeur 3, Arko 3 in Frankfurt an der Oder. Here with SS Obergruppenführer, Commander of the 5th Panzergrenadier Division Wiking, Herbert Gille Bremer lost this post and becomes the command of the 34th Infantry Division  in Koblenz. He succeeded General der Infanterie, Max von Viebahn    who died at the very old age of 92, on 07-11-1980 in Stuttgart.

The officers were required to remain at their assigned stations and be available to their superiors, but could not exercise any command function, which was equivalent to a temporary retirement while retaining their previous income. Especially in the second half of the war, more and more politically problematic, troublesome, or militarily incompetent officers were assigned to the Führerreserve. . Then Bremer not useful for Hitler’s warfare (see Adolf) (did you know) (see Hitler parents)  (see William Hitler) is already retired on 28-02-1942, age 55, in the middle of the war. Generalleutnant Max von Viebahn survived the war and died 07-11-1980, old age 92 in Stuttgart, and Generalmajor Hans Behlendorff died 16-03-1961, age 71 in Baden-Baden.
