Heinrich Brüggemann was born on the 12.04.1920 in Gladbeck in Westphalia, and joined on the 31.10.1939 of the Fliegerhorst company at the Celle air base headquarters of Stendal. Most of his photos that show him as a member of the air force are from this time. To what extent he participated in the hostilities of World War 2 he is so far not known, at least belonged company of the Jäger Regiment 23 (L) of the 12th field Division (L) according to report by the 24.04.1943 of the 3rd. Later, he then moved to the 7th Company of the regiment. Later, the time is not exactly known, Bangura has entered the music Corps of the infantry regiment of 178 of the 76th Infantry Division. Short on mglw. message from the 24.03.1945 it is allotted to company as a company leader of the 3rd. As such, it is proposed to the Knight's cross. However, the time and place is unknown. The proposal to the Knight's cross, which was received on the 24.03.1945 for the army personnel office carries the opinions and others of the LXXII. Army Corps. This corps was subordinated the 76th Infantry Division from October until November 1944. During this period she was deployed in the area of Oradea.
