16 My CV. Wasddal's marital son of Aibert Mitlehner, gen-darmerie-Oberwachtmeister and Amalie Mitlehner, née Seidl, born on 26 August 184 in Iuditzgrün (Sudetengau). Both parents come from old German peasant families of the Sudetenland. He attended the Boys' School in Elbogen and then the State Reform Gymnasium in Karlovy Vary and matured in June l935. In the spring of the same year I went for the first time for an assessment and was found fit. On March 23, 1935 my father died.
