SA-Obergruppe VI (6)

[Freiherr von Graff]

Need information on the SA-Obergruppe VI (6):

Where was it seated (maybe complete adress) and who were the commanders (and when)?

Also, I remember reading somewhere that at some point there were 10 SA-Obergruppen, yet I've got information about the Obergruppe VIII (8) being redesignated Obergruppe XI (11). How many were there?

Thanks in advance!

SA-Obergruppe VI consisted of Gruppen : Niederrhein, Niedersachsen, Nordsee and Westphalen. HQ in Hannover. Führer SA-Obergruppe VI was Victor Lutze 1933 - 1934.
The formation Obergruppe was created by Röhm in July 1932, initially there were five. The number had risen to ten by 1934. After the "Röhm-Putsch" the formation Obergruppe was abolished and the largest SA formation was now the Gruppe.

I think that originally the one based in Hannover was Obergruppe II under Lutze with Wilhelm Jahn as Stabsführer it changed to IV 20.2.1933 still with Lutze in charge

Thank you both.

Another thing:
From info I've found in a lot of different places it seems that Karl Ernst and Edmund Heines BOTH were commanders of the SA-Obergruppe III AT THE SAME TIME in 1934 ... That can't be right?
