SS-Ostuf. Hermann Bolte

[Mikedc]

SS-Obersturmführer Hermann Boltke
Received the Tank Destruction Badge
No more info available.

Is his name maybe not correct?? The closest I come is SS-Obersturmführer Hermann Bolte
Hopefully somebody can confirm me that both officers are the same...


Thanks,
Mike

I found
Heinz-Hermann BOLTE Born 28.05.1922 in Schaapsen/Weser
SS° 421003 (V)
Ostuf 30.01.44
Probably the good one

Hello Jérôme,

Thank you very much. And yes, I also think his correct name was Hermann Bolte.

Hey Freddie,

Thank you very much and looking at your info I'm pretty sure now it's Hermann Bolte, since he also received the Tank Destruction Badge. So the name Hemrann Boltke was incorrect for sure....

Greetings,
