Seyer served with the 466. Grenadier Regiment as part of the 257. Infanterie Division. He was first equipped with a K43 and later with a MP40. His unit attacked in the opening days of the Nordwind offensive in the region of Bitche, France. The 257. ID. broke through the American defenses towards the town of Reyersviller and occupied the hills of Steinkopf, Signalberg and Spitzberg. Seyer’s unit was heavily engaged with the 399th Infantry regiment of the 100th US Infantry division in this sector throughout January 1945. During these battles in harsh winter conditions Seyer was taken off the frontline due to frost bite. He was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber on 12.02.1945. A nice Soldbuch which would be a great base of further research.
