Born on 27 May 1922 in Zweibrucken, Otto Carius was rejected twice for military service as unfit because of his slight weight and build. On his third attempt he was finally accepted, and in May 1940 he was assigned to the 104th Infantry Replacement Battalion in Posen. After completing his infantry training, he volunteered for the Panzer Corps, despite the fact that his father had categorically forbidden him from joining the armoured units. By October 1940, he was training with the newly raised 21. Panzerregiment (21st Armoured Regiment).
