Who were in the 502nd?

[Rebellious]

Does anyone have a list of who were in the 502nd (511th) heavy panzer division?

Hello,

Your posting does not make sense. There was never a heavy panzer division.
Maybe you mean schwere Panzerabteilung 502??
If you mean it... NO there is no complete list of who was in this unit.

A Panzerabteilung had 887 personnel - a division 17 000 - 20 000.

Yeah I wrote wrong.

Is there a list for Yugoslav/Balkan members of the battaglion?

R -

What makes you think that there were Croatian personnel in schw.Pz.-Abt. 502? Croatians (Hrvatski) only served in a Heer Inf.Rgt. (369), Luftwaffe air and Flak units and a tiny Black Sea naval contingent. All of those belonged to the Hrvatska Legija (Croatian Legion) and the men wore a distinctive patch on their uniform. There were no Croatians in the German tank units as far as I know.

So, perhaps you are thinking of Kroatische Volksdeutsche personnel? Once these men had volunteered or been conscripted into the German armed forces, they became indistinguishable from the Reich Deutschen so there would be no way to tell them apart. And, as Christoph has already told you, there are no rosters of assigned personnel. End of story.
