Does anyone have any biographical information regarding Hans Weinreich or Kurt Weinreich?

I have the following data on Hans:

Reichstag Deputy

Kurt:

Ostuf. 455 714 Flak-Abt (not sure what this means)

Thank you!

He was SS Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der Polizei


Kurt WEINREICH seems to be a junior officer of Waffen SS in a air defence unit

Thanks for the information. May I ask if you have any more, or where you were able to obtain it? I am trying to collect as much as possible so if you could provide your references that would be great.

Thanks!

Hi,

for Hans Weinreich I suggest you the excellent site of the moderator this forum ABR which appear at the top
select Technische Nothilfe you will find a good bio of him

for the junior Waffen SS officer the SS number indicate he was a very late SS member.
My record on Polizeidivision are not enough precise to mention it.

Here is a slightly more detailed biographical sketch than that found on the woefully incomplete ABR site- most of information is from Weinreich's SS personnel file on microfilm at the National Archives, College Park, Maryland.

Best wishes,
