High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rudolf Kurt Poecker (December 31, 1919–January 8, 2003) was a German–American baker, missionary, and religious leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He served in the German Army during World War II, and afterwards immigrated to the United States where he became a citizen. Poecker was born on December 31, 1919, in Fraureuth, Greiz, Thueringen, Germany, to Willy Emil Poecker and Ella Thekla Trumpold. He grew up in Fraureuth, and at age 17, while a pastry chef apprentice, he met Elfriede Ehrler. It was "love at first sight." Elfriede introduced Rudolf to the LDS Church, into which he was baptized in 1940. They were married December 14, 1942. During World War II, he was drafted into the German army and served as a medic in the elite Alpine troops for six years, fighting primarily against Soviet forces on the Eastern Front. Near the end of the war he was taken prisoner by the Soviets, but did not suffer transportation to the far-flung camp system, and was freed not long after the cessation of hostilities.
