Gentlemen's,
Someone has an information on this battalion?
I know, that it up to 43 years was designated as SS Infanterie Ersatzbataillon "Ost", deployed in Breslau,
battled in Russia, one time dr. Mengele served in it...
That's all...
I shall be grateful for any information.
Regards,
Igor.

Hi Igor, it was a pleasure
If you have additional information at hand, f.e. the time of the mentiond Dr.Mengele with this bataillon, it would be nice, if you may post them. My "command rooster" of this bataillon (s) is still very poor .....

Re: SS-Jnfanterie-Ersatzbataillon "Ost"
I just came across this post. Mengele was assigned to the SS-Infanterie-Ersatzbataillon "Ost" after returning to Berlin from the Eastern Front in early 1943, according to David Marwell's "Mengele: Unmasking the 'Angel of Death'” (Norton, 2020) (relevant excerpt available at https://books.google.com/books?id=JCCfD ... st&f=false
