Oberstleutnant Obergethmann & Oberst Stahel

[Michi]

Oberstleutnant Obergethmann, Eduard:
06.1942 – 12.1942: CO of Stb./FlakRgt. 85 (v)
08.1942 – 01.1943: CO of Stb./FlakRgt. 99 (mot.)
So between 20th and 26th November 1942 Obstlt. Obergethmann formed the Kampfverband Obergethmann in Oblivskaja.
BUT which Stb./FlakRgt. did he command before??
Fate of Obergethmann??


Oberst Stahel, Rainer:
25.09.1942 – 28.11.1942: CO of LwFDiv 4
21.05.1943 – 05.06.1943: CO of 22. FlakBrig.
In November 1942 Obst Stahel formed the Gruppe Stahel, which was dissolved some weeks later.
What was he commanding after the Gruppe Stahel.
Fate of Stahel??

Okay, we can tick off Oberst Stahel.
But a new problem came up:

Oberst Stahel:
Commander of the 99th Flak-Regiment (15 Apr 1942 - 25 Sep 1942)

Oberstleutnant Obergethmann:
Commander of the 99th Flak-Regiment (Aug 1942 - Jan 1943)
or
Commander of the 85th Flak-Regiment (Jun 1942 - Dec 1942)

Hello,

here's an interesting tidbit about the past of Oberst Obergethmann. In the early 1930s he worked in the central sales office of Austrian steel producer Österreichisch-Alpine Montangesellschaft in Vienna. After the failed Nazi putsch of July 1934 the Austrian government forced his employer to sack Obergethmann because he was known to be a believing National Socialist. Obergethmann returned/emigrated to Germany where he soon persued a military career.

Does anyone know if Obergethmann held German or Austrian nationality between 1918 and 1934?

Of course they do not mention that Obergethmann was already a Soviet prisoner when the article appeared ...
