Hi forum fellows,
Last hint:
Our mysterious SS-Oberführer was tried in January 1944 by SS Disciplinary Court. Found guilty and was forbidden to wear SS uniform, dagger and ring. But was not dismissed from the SS or deteriorated his rank
Hope this help - and want to add pictures of this guy are so rare

"Easy" from you generally implies considerable difficulty, though. I was quite surprised this time.

Here's my submission for today (Source: NARA).

Best,

Karl Demme ??

Sorry, no. A couple of small hints: Posthumously promoted SS-Sturmbannführer in 1944, and was commissioned SS-Untersturmführer on 30.01.1935.
