Gert Hoffmann 1917-2014

Post date: 11/07/2014

 

We mourn the passing of Austrian International Brigader Gert Hoffmann, who died on 9 July 2014, one month after his 97th birthday.

 

He was a veteran of the Ernst Thälmann Battalion of the XI International Brigade.

 

A family statement said: “His deepest wish was that we never forget the fallen, and that we follow their example in the struggle for justice and peace, and against all forms of fascism.”
