Hi!
I´m looking for info on the swedish SS-Ustuf Carl Svensson. All I know is that he was born on the 17/11-1915 and belonged to SS-Standarte Kurt Eggers as a SS-Kreigsberichter, Served with Nordland, atleast at Narva. Did his time at Tölz in 1943 and died in 1999. What Im especially intressted in is what units he did serve in (I have heard something about attached to a LW unit in the mediterinian), if he belonged to the SSS, or any other swedish right wing party, if he had served in Finland before W-SS and pretty much any other info you could give me.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards:

Thank you! Did not know that he was in HJ. At what point was this and did he serve together with Tillmann, who was KIA during his service with HJ in Normandy?
