Peter Renold
* 06.06.1924 in Wollishofen/Kanton Zürich.
+ 13.04.1995
Renold joins the Waffen SS in November 1941. He was transferred to the Brandenburgers during 1942-43, and takes part in 16 actions behind the Russian front. After returns to the Waffen SS (SS-Fallschirmjäger Btl.500) he takes part in the attack on Tito's HQ in May 1944 (Operation Rösselsprung). At the end of the war Renold was transferred to the SS-Panzergrenadier Rgt.5 (3.SS-Panzer Division "Totenkopf"). As a member of this unit he earns a nickname, "Panzerbubbi", and after destroying 9 tanks received Ritterkreuz on 6 May 1945. There is a picture of him with the KC in the Neulen's book "An der deutsche Seite".
