RKT Werner Reim, Sonderverband der Abwehr im Berlin 1945

Hello!

According to Gerhard von Seemen's "Ritterkreuzträger" (1976), there was a Leutnant Werner Reim who was a Kompanieführer in eimem Sonderverband (der Abwehr) im Kampfraum Berlin who recieved the Knight's Cross on April 22, 1945.
Werner Reim is not mentioned on http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de or on http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de and naturally I want information on this Abwehr officer. Did he recieve the KC or not? What combat did he and his unit see in Berlin, KC or not? I'm looking forward to some info from fellow members...


Regards,

He is not listed by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel (succeeding von Seemen) in 2000.
So there is no Leutnant Werner Reim who recieved the "Ritterkreuz" at any time

Hello Herr Zinke!

This (Abwehr?) Leutnant Reim isn't the only questionable entry in von Seemen. I'll have to get my hands on a newer book on the Ritterkreuzträger and so, I have a slightly off-topic question for you. Are you familiar with the work of Veit Scherzer? He's published a CD-ROM series on the Ritterkreuzträger and is releasing a von Seemen/Fellgiebel like book on the subject this autumn. All these books tend to be quite expensive so I would like to go for either Fellgiebel or maybe Scherzer... Any opinions?
See link for Scherzer's products:

Hallo Herr Doktor,

sorry, I never saw a CD-ROM on the Ritterkreuzträger by Veit Scherzer. I only know his excellent attitudes, for example
Scherzer, Veit: "Das XV. Kosaken-Kavallerie-Korps – Ein Verband der Waffen-SS". In: Militaria 4/99
