SS-Hstuf. d.R. Leo Franke
Can anybody enlighten me further on the career of SS-Hstuf. d.R. Leo Franke please? I have the following (mostly from John Moore's Fuhrerliste):
1) Born Recklinghausen, Ruhr 16 May 1914
2) SS NO: 393,329
3) May 1940: Feldwebel Pz.Jg.Abt.4 (I'm assuming this was a Wehrmacht unit)
4) July 1941: SS-Ustuf. 14. /"Der Fuhrer" Regt.
5) April 6, 1944: wounded commanding the 6. /SS-Pz.Regt.10
6) Nov. 13 1944: succeeded Reinhold as commander of the II. /SS-Pz.Regt.10 (still in command Jan 1945)
7) April 20, 1943: promoted SS-Hstuf. d.R.
8) Died 17 Sept 1991
His SS number would suggest that he joined the SS in 1939/40. Did he then join the Army only to rejoin the SS in 1940? Can anybody tell me when he was commissioned as an SS-Ustuf.? Many thanks.

Many thanks Patrick. I have John Moore's work, but I must have missed this one.

Hello,
I was also surprised to find Leo Franke file in the CDs of John Moore
because to my knowledge Leo Franke wasn't awarded or proposed the GCiG neither the Knight's Cross.
Regards
Patrick
