Gatternig
Hi,
what was the last rank of Dr. Erich Gatternig? In the article of Oberstab he was SS-Standartenführer but I think he was only SS-Sturmbannführer (30.01.1943).

From ??-4-1934 till ??-3-1935 he succeeded Dr. Oskar Morawek as CO from 87. SS-Standarte 'Tirol'. Apparently he was already SS-Hauptsturmführer at that point. So either this was an Allgemeine-SS rank or he wasn't SS-Hstuf at all when he commanded this Standarte.

Re: Dr. Gatternig
I have no information if the Canadian War Crimes investigation team ever followed up on this . It's dated 1946, two years before the clipping posted earlier states that he was sentenced in Austria to 22 months imprisonment and deprivation of his doctorate.
