[David Thompson]

WojtekK -- I'm definitely interested.

[Oberhessin]

Just came across the statement that Erich Deppner gave on Wölk in his trial in Munich. Is this of interest after this long time you have asked?

[smetanin albert]

from SSO Burghoff

Not directly related to the question of the OP.
Dutch police force during WW2 in Rotterdam.

Best regards.

[WAR LORD]

Was GRIEP IN THIS. hE WAS IN Holland IN 1944

[Bertill622]

Try Ctrl and f at the same time.
Than you can search on the name Griep. It is on your screen.
See page 270.

Best regards.

[WAR LORD]

I am aware of this. I have his file and personal belongings, but his time in Holland is a little vague. I was asking for further info if anyone might have come across it

[Bertill622]

One more file.

Best regards.

[WAR LORD]

Thank you, but unfortunately I can not understand it

[Bertill622]

It is in Dutch, so it may not be that easy to translate.
But if you take the time, it will make sense.
English to read is easy, we all learned that at school.
You could buy a dictionary, or use a online tool to translate.
For 25 years ago I could not understand German in reading, writing or speaking.
I just started and since then I don't have any problems with it.

Have you seen this? In German.

Just noticed that Albert Smetanin did not post the right SSO for Burghoff.
The Burghoff with Sipo Rotterdam was the Uniformträger SS-Ustuf., born 23 Jan. 1898 (Danzig).
