I recieved an email from a friend in Germany that their last WW1 solder had died at 107. he didn't send me any more information but I discovered this on another site.
There was a short piece (very short) in one of the German papers that said the last World War One veteran of Germany has died aged 107 on 27 May 2008. He was called Franz Künstler and served during the last months of the war against the Italians.
He was a young lad of 17 when he was called up.
