Re: SS-Aufklärungsabteilung LAH...
Looks fantastic Harro, congratulations on the book. Do you know what shipping will be to the UK? Does the book deal with any of the other members of the SS-AA LAH such as Bremer and Weiser?
Re: SS-Aufklärungsabteilung LAH...
There are short bios of Bremer and Weiser and they are of course mentioned in the book in relation to the organisation of the battalion and the descriptions of the battles they fought, plus Bremer is mentioned in connection with his Junkerschule (same year in Bad Tölz) and post-war connections with Knittel (in 1963 Knittel, who worked as managing director for the Opel dealership in Ulm, provided Gerd and Almut Bremer with an Opel ‘Kadett’ for their trip through Europe.The couple drove 3,600 kilometres, to Vienna, Copenhagen and Hamburg, to visit Meyer’s widow, Käthe in Hagen and Karl-Heinz Gauch1022 in Frankfurt am Main, and then back to their house in Spain).
Shipping to the UK would be € 9.45 according to their website.

Re: SS-Aufklärungsabteilung LAH...
Thanks for the info on the shipping. Did Knittel have a lot of contact with his former comrades post-war?
Re: SS-Aufklärungsabteilung LAH...
Knittel’s contacts with veterans were limited to his closest wartime comrades: his former adjutant Hans-Martin Leidreiter, his dispatch runner and driver August Hollenbacher and officers like Gerd Bremer, Fritz Reuß and Max Hansen. His relations with the lower ranks had seriously cooled post-war and he did not attend any of the ‘Kompanietreffen’ (company meetings) of his former battalion.
