Edgar Joseph Alexandre Puaud (29 October 1889 – March 1945), was a French army officer, who, in 1945, briefly became commander of the Charlemagne Division, a French unit of the Waffen SS which fought alongside the German Army against the Soviet Union.〔Tony Le Tissier, ''Charlemagne: the 33rd Waffen-Grenadier Division of the SS'', Pen and Sword, 2010〕 ==World War I== Puaud was born in Orléans, and joined the French Army as a private soldier in 1909. By 1914 he was a sergeant, and was selected to attend the military academy at Saint-Maixent for officer training. On the outbreak of World War I, however, he and fellow "''aspirants''" were immediately given commissions. During the course of the war he was promoted from Sub-Lieutenant to Captain, and won the Croix de guerre and the Legion of Honour.〔 After 1918 he served with the French army of occupation in the Rhineland, then with the French Foreign Legion in Morocco, Syria and French Indo-China.〔 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「Edgar Puaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
