Johannes Vosskamp (1896-1945) was a veteran of World War I and so were his brothers. It is unclear when he became a Nazi party member. In World War II, he was drafted at the age of 46 (ca. 1942) as part of"Organisation Tod" behind the lines. He was sent to Serbia and was declared"missing in actio" at the end of the war in 1945.
