Some weeks ago “German Girl” asked about Fritz Balzereit, a
Bible Student in Germany during World War I. I have found some information;
please pass it on.
Karl Balzereit was married to the daughter of a Baptist clergyman. They had 3 children: Paul, Fritz and a daughter. So Fritz was brother to Paul Balzereit, the German branch overseer since 1916. Fritz served in the army; Paul did not, because he was unfit. Paul, disfellowshipped in 1935, served after 1939 in the German Wehrmacht. He survived the war. In 1959 he died after an accident on the street. A Truck killed him.
Thank you Rachael.
All best
Bernhard

Thank you for supplying this clarifying information. Every little piece of the puzzle is helpful.
Yes, thank you Bernhard for more good work. I wouldn't wish what happened to Balzeriet upon anyone. Yet his turncoat attitude is difficult to forgive.
