Thank you for all the help. I have found out alot.
A few more questions.
On the info from the Volksbund. What is Südl. and Nordostw mean?? I take it Iwacewieze and Bereza-Kartuska are towns and Ru. Mitte is Russia central.

[Michael Miller]

"1 km südl. Iwacewieze, 34 km nordostw. Bereza-Kartuska, Ru. Mitte"

=

1 kilometre south of Iwacewieze, 34 kilometres northeast of Berza-Kartuska, in central Russia.

His unit and DKiG award is not entirely clear to me.
per Scheibert : Beyerlein, Heinrich, 04.06.1944, SS-Sturmbannführer, I./SS-Jg.Btl.

above is said by Phil 1. Jg.Btl. / Nachschubkommandantur Rußland-Mitte
Iltis provided SS-Jäg.Btl. 500 per John Moore's Fuhrerliste and several DAL
is this one and the same ?

The point is and that's what I don't understand so far :
Wasn't he Kdr. of that Btl. which was to become "501" later ?

per Tessin
SS-Feldrekruten-Depot Bobruisk [Field Recruit Depot] (der SS-Nachschub-Kommandantur Rußland-Mitte)
formed three battalions in 1942 : I. 1-4 , II. 5-8 , III. 9-12 ;
I. Btl. (sp. III.) was dissolved in June 44
II. Btl. formed SS-Jäg.Btl. 500 on 15.04.1944
III. Btl. formed SS-Jäg.Btl. 501 on 15.05.1944

-> I.Btl. (sp. III.) is the key point ?
was the original I. Btl. later redesignated III. Btl. and then numbered 501 ? As [I.] Jg.Btl. / Bobruisk etc., took part in anti-partisan actions already before the installation of the 500 series battalions (as one result Beyerleins German Cross in Gold).
And the former III. Btl., then I. Btl. respectively, was the one which was disbanded in June 44 ?

Hello,
In the personal file of Beyerlein there is an amazing and rather rare letter from July 02, 1944 that he wrote to Oberführer Knapp where he tells to have taken knowledge of the proposal for the German Cross in Gold and in which he contests and denies the related facts. (proposal of April 27, 1944 signed by General HARPE AOK 9 and awarded on June 4, 1944)
(source Führerliste Part 1 John Moore Very recommended and invaluable source)

Hi everyone,

I was surprised to read about Heinrich Beyerlein. My maiden name is Klaudia Beyerlein from Wiesentfels, Germany. The person you are enquiring about is actually my father's uncle. My father's aunt, Helene Herzog (Beyerlein) would tell us a bit about him when I was little.

This SS-Stubaf KIA not in Iwacewieze, but in beylorussian town Iwacewicze - [germ. Ivatseviche/Ivacsevichi - byel. Івацэвічы], 31-48 km nordostw. Bereza-Kartuska.
