SS-Ostuf. von Kogel/Koegel, 2. Kp. / SS-Pz.Rgt. 3
Guys,
I'm looking for information regarding a SS-Ostuf. von Kogel/Koegel, he commanded 2. Kompanie / SS-Pz.Rgt. 3 from late July 1944 to early 1945, SS-Ostuf. Strobl then took command of 2. Kompanie. What I would like to know, what happened to von Kogel. I suspect he was either killed or wounded during Jan.45. I would be very grateful for any clues, thanks.
Mike

Are you sure that his surname is spelled that way?

Hallo Jan-Hendrik,
According to Fritz Winkler: Kriegsende und Besatzungszeit in den Bezirken Rohrbach und Urfahr-Umgebung, Lothar von Kleist was captured by US troops, forced to dig his own grave and then shot in a place called "Badhölzl", which I can't find on any map. In any case, it should be near Zwettl an der Rodl im Mühlviertel (not Zwettl in Niederösterreich).
