Footnote: Paul Conrath was born on 26 November 1896 in Berlin. He enlisted in the Heer on 10 August 1914 and, by 1 March 1917, had achieved the rank of Leutnant with the 4th Baden Field Artillery Regiment. He left military service on 20 January 1919 and joined the police on 11 January 1920. He continued in this capacity until 1 April 1935, when he enlisted in the fledgling Luftwaffe. He served as personal adjutant to Hermann Göring until 30 September 1936, and later commanded a flak company. Conrath was promoted to Oberst on 1 March 1930 and, on 1 June, was appointed commander of 1st Fallschirm-Panzer Division “Hermann Göring”, a position he held until 14 April 1944, making him the Division’s longest commander. Under Conrath, the Division saw action in all theatres of the war, where its achievements saw him awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves. Replaced as Division commander by Generalleutnant Wilhelm Schmalz on 15 April 1944, he was selected to oversee and direct training of paratroops. Recalled to combat service on 1 January 1945, Conrath was then elevated to General of Paratroops, and was taken into American custody on 8 May 1945, but was soon released and retired to private life. Conrath died in Hamburg on 15 January 1979.
