* After World War II, Georg Feig became the head of a department in the large scale industry.

Georg Feig came from the Saxon Ore Mountains. At the age of 18, Georg Feig joined the 101st Grenadier Regiment in 1917 and took part in the First World War. Even before 1933 he was interested in National Socialist ideas and joined the NSDAP and SA. As Obersturmführer, he headed the SA aid camps in Ellrich and Ober Maßfeld. The Ellrich-Juliushütte subcamp was established in 1944 on the premises of the Ellrich relief agency camp he directed. Afterwards he worked as an educator at the SA-Führerschule Gruppe Thuringia in the Schortental near Eisenberg (Thuringia).

From 1937 to 1939 he was Obersturmbannführer of SA Standard 94 "Gustav Zongel" in Weimar, after which he took over SA Standard 80 (Kurpfalz Group) in Wiesbaden. A month before the outbreak of the Second World War, Georg Feig was mobilized in Weimar and called up as a lieutenant in the reserve for the local 1st Rifle Regiment. With this rifle regiment he went into the field in 1939.

As a first lieutenant, he was wounded in the Battle of Tula in 1941. On October 14, 1941, he and his raiding party took the Volga road bridge near Kalinin on their own with a skillful blow. He was wounded again a day later. For this act he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross by Adolf Hitler in December 1941 and celebrated as a hero by his contemporaries. He received the award personally in January 1942 from the SA chief of staff in Berlin. At the same time he was promoted to SA-Standartenführer.

Towards the end of the war he was deployed in Thuringia as the Gaustabsführer of the Volkssturm. Most recently he lived as a lieutenant colonel a. D. in Wiesbaden, where he died shortly before his 71st birthday in 1970.
