Answer up: General of the infantry Fritz von Lossberg von J.Wilkening on 30 November, 2004 around 21:29:31:

No. General Fritz v.Lossberg was another line. The father of general Fritz v.Lossberg was called however Victor v.Lossberg. His brother Karl v.Lossberg (please 1870) had a son also named Karl (please 1914). His son was Viktor v.Lossberg (geb. 1904, last Colonels...). The brother of Victor was called Karl Egon (1901-2001) and was my grandfather. Correct it is however that Ulrich Grauert was the son-in-law of general Fritz v.Lossberg. Fritz v. Lossberg had a son (Bernhard) and several daughters.

With kind regards Roland v.Lossberg

General of the infantry Fritz von Lossberg (1868-1942,
Knight of the Pour le merite with oak leaves
last commander realm military's group command I/Berlin (1925-27):
Did he have children? Was he possibly the father of Viktor von Lossberg? He was born 1904 in Posen, was in the 2.WK last Colonel i.G., carriers of the knight cross and still for some years in the German Federal Armed Forces actively. : General Fritz von Lossberg was allegedly the father-in-law of Ulrich Grauert, 1940 colonel general of the Air Force, pleases 1941. Can that confirm someone?
