He was born in Krefeld. A mechanical engineer, he was best known for being the primary person responsible for converting captured vehicles and weapons into usable instruments for the German army.〔Restayn, Jean ''Kommando Becker''. German Military Magazine (in German)(see External Links)〕 Using his organizational and engineering skills, he converted the Hotchkiss plant near Paris into a vehicle modification and fabrication center. There he and the men from his artillery command converted large numbers of captured French equipment to mobilize German guns, rocket launchers and mortars. Becker was Germany's expert at acquisition and conversion of captured military equipment. In addition to creating the conversion program in France, Becker was at the same time the commanding officer of the Sturmgeschütz-Abt. 200, a motorized assault gun battalion of the 21st Panzer Division.〔(Divisional organization of 21st Panzer Division, June 1944 )〕 He commanded this unit during its re-equipment in 1944, through the battles fought in Normandy and the retreat across France and Belgium, until his capture in Alsace on the French/German border in December 1944. == First World War == During the First World War Becker was an artillery officer, and was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st class in 1914. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfred Becker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
