German Officer Corps Dueling During WWII

by cousin_basil

On the [World War Two Youtube channel ](https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxboS4t3u6ZjV9sfdRGOO-fqrG7Y-Ygngn) day to day update a comment stated: " Apparently the German Army Officer Corps has a dueling epidemic. The Army regulations which regulate the "Wahrung der Ehre" [preservation of honor] are repealed "für die Dauer des Krieges" [for the duration of the war]. Order published 7 November 1942 See Domarus, Reden Band IV s. 1927, & Domarus, Speechs, Vol 4, p. 2690 "

Was dueling really a problem for the Wermacht during the time of war? This was new to me. Are there any famous incidents?

I wouldn't call it an epidemic, exactly, but it did happen. This older answer goes into this.
