Footnote: Alois Fanger was born on July 1, 1912 in Landersdorf (today part of the city of Dorfen) near Munich. He was drafted and examined on November 20, 1939 and assigned to the Fahr-Ersatz-Schwadron 212 (Motorized Replacement Squadron) in Freising on December 12, 1939 as a driver. This assignment only lasted until February 1940, when he was redeployed to the Veterinary Company 212, with which Fanger fought in France. On June 1, 1940, he was promoted to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal). Between 1940 and 1941, Fanger first served on the Western Front, took part in battles at the Maginot Line outside of Longuyon and a battle south of Toul, before becoming part of the occupation forces, finally being stationed at the coast off the English Channel. In November 1941, Fanger’s unit was redeployed to the Eastern Front, specifically the vicinity of Leningrad. He received the Eastern Front Medal on August 9, 1942. In October 1942 he contracted typhus and had to be treated in the Lazarett (military hospital) Tegernsee (southern Bavaria) until July 1943. Consequently, he was reassigned in early 1943 to the Genesenden-Kompanie (convalescent company) of the Vet. Ers. u. Aus. Abt. (veterinary replacement and training detachment) 7 Landshut. In October 1943, he was released from active service and placed with the Heeresentlassungsstelle (army discharge office) 3/VII until May 1944 when he was finally discharged due to health reasons.
