Otto Gieseke
I hijacked this old thread because I was looking for info about Bf Otto Gieseke. He was appointed BdO Ostland in March 1944. Before that he was the CO of Polizei-Schützen-Regiment 1 from at least September 1942 (probably much earlier) until April 1943. He was promoted to Brigadeführer 10 June 1944 but what about his other assingments and promotions?

He also may have been the one running KG Giesecke outside of Riga in 1944. Probably September
