@Sturmgeschutz. It will be interesting to see how your character will develop, consider it approved.Edit: You seemed to have served on a lot of fronts, i'm a little unsure on when you actually got to the Eastern Front. I do get the idea that it was quite recent though.

Yeah, I don't think that's too fantastical. A lot of German units saw a lot of action on a lot of fronts. It was my way of saying he's experienced, decorated and not daunted by the horrors of war. It also adds an extra layer of character for him, because he's seen first hand the Reich's defeat in Africa, and the bloody battle for Crete - he has been shown that the Wehrmacht is far from invincible, and now with America's entry, is at a serious, possibly fatal disadvantage - yet he's still committed to the idea of a final victory. 

He would have arrived on the Eastern Front immediately after the defeat of Rommel's Afrika Korps, (13 May 1943). So he's been there for a few months, doing nothing much inparticular leading up to the battle of Kursk.
