This officer graduated from Bad Tolz in 1942, does the SS-Number give the date of his entry into the SS?

regards

His number was 367 647 but I can't see any correlation with date and other SS Numbers.

SS-Ostuf. 13.Waffen-Geb.Div. 02.45
SS-Ostuf. Chef,1./SS-Karstwehr Btl. 07.44
SS-Ustuf. 3./Aufkl.Abt.2 07.42
graduate at 23 years old.

SS number don't give the date of entry but the age is a hint.

not NCO in Waffen-SS.

According DAL 1938 higher nummers for SS-Ustuf. were around 310-320 000 on 12.38.

Cheers Georges. He was in the ranks of the "Der Führer" regiment 1940-41 before rejoining the "Das Reich" Division as an officer leading 2 (motorcycle) platoon of the 3rd company in 1942. By December 1943 he was leading a company in the KWB. I don't think he ever joined the "Handschar" Division (although he may have been assigned but had his orders changed) because he surrendered to the British with the Karstjagers in May 1945. He doesn't appear in any of the "Handschar" documents I have seen.

best regards
