Wolfgang got training in Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 85 and after training became a soldier within the Infanterie Regiment 85. This regiment became Gebirgsjäger Regiment 85 in October 1940 and was part of the 5.Gebirgs-Division. This division and her units fought in Greece in April 1941 and then Crete.
