Hi,

can anyone provide me info on Konteradmiral(char.) Carl Derzewski(born 03.08.1855, died 04.12.1914). He was the father of the future SS-Oberführer Hermann Darsen. I think Hermann changed his name in 00.00.1930.

Thanks in advance.

HM.

Thanks very much, great info.

Is there any info in the book about his wife, looking for the name of Hermann Darsens mother?.

Unfortunately the book deals strictly with the military careers of the officers, and does not contain any personal information such as names or wives.

Hello,

According to Degener's Wer ist's (1912), his wife was Margarete, geb. Zimmermann.

Kids: Hermann (changed his surname to "Darsen" in 1930) (* 14.01.1892 in Charlottenburg; † 31.07.1941 in Sigmaringen), Dina (* 15.03.1894), Ilse (* 21.05.1898) and Hertha (* 27.05.1903).
