Phil,
What is your source for this please? I ask because all my sources state Biberstein relinquished command of EK6 in May 1943. I was under the impression that the EK was under temporary command from May until August 1943. If you have a reliable source which states otherwise, I'd appreciate knowing it please. Many thanks,
Max.

[Phil Nix]

These are from Jost Schneider so they may no be reliable

Ah, that's a pity. Unfortunately, as you quite rightly say, Jost Schneider was not a reliable source. Therefore, I think this question remains unresolved.
Thanks,
Max.

Following from Biberstein's SS-Officer file:

14 July 1942 Stapoleiter Oppeln when posted to EG C/EK 6 by “Erlass des RSHA v. 14.7.42 – I A 8275/42 b”
March 1943 met with SS-Stubaf Blunck in Stalino and verbally told to transfer his Kmdo – Biberstein delayed this
transfer
23 May 1943 EKführer in Taganrog when received two FS from the BdS Kiew to quickly transfer the Kommando to
Rowno
26 May 1943 Biberstein arrived in a huff in Kiew to talk with SS-Gruf. Thomas but had to make do with a meeting
with the Leiter IIA (Gottwald) to discuss what was to happen about the local Taganrog Volksdeutsche
problems re their withdrawal
31 May 1943 returned from Kiew to Taganrog
2 June 1943 with KdS Dnjepropetrowsk about his Volksdeutsche problem
3 June 1943 with Transportkommandeur Stalino about the Kmdo transfer which took place on 16 June 1943
19 June 1943 report of the BdS Untersuchungsführer Hülf, from Kiew, as Thomas had instituted proceedings against
Biberstein for disobeying his orders sent by FS on 23 May 1943.

Biberstein remained in command of EK 6 until at least mid June 1943 and probably after the Kommando transferred west.

Slight differences in timings that will be difficult to fully resolve.

Thanks, Steve, for that very interesting information. I suppose this question will be one of those anomolies where the answer has been lost in time.
