Hello!
Some corrections: the rank stated on Jonas Lie is his "Allgemeine SS" rank, from Germanske SS Norge. His W-SS rank was SS Hauptsturmführer. Arthur Quist was SS-Stubaf. The highest ranking W-SS rank by any Norwegian, was Egil Hoel, who reached the rank of SS Ostubaf.

It is not possible to mix up the A-SS ranks with the W-SS ones, it will give a totally wrong picture at last.

BTW, Jonas Lies correct A-SS rank was "SS-standartfører", equal to "SS Standartenführer". Forgot it in the previous posting.

Dear Rouill

Sorry, i made a little bit confusion. The name is Corrodi, the death date i do not know. I think to know that he died in Basel.

Franz Riedweg was expelled from Switzerland. That means he lost his swiss nationality, like Benno Schäppi, which was also an SS-man. But rank i do not know.

Greetings

Dear mr Rouillè and/or moderator!
As a second thought; why not make this list counting just all above rank SS Hstuf, or at least make some guidelines.

I can not really see the point in a listing of Ustuf´s etc, what is more important; many of the lower officer ranks are still alive.
In many countries, those who served in W-SS were criminalized, and got sentenced. Therefor, I know many who, even if proud of serving in Waffen SS, certainly not would approve their names put online this way. Actually, it is a way of outing people.

The names of officers already mentioned in published sources, would cause no problem. But I have a feeling that quite "unknown to the public" names might appear. Could even be illegal.

This posting is meant in a most friendly way, and just to get some opinions.

Hi, Bjorn
Very interesting mail. I believe that if you are afraid when you give a name of ex-SS-Soldier, you could do a mention of your sources. There are so many books about the Waffen-SS, and the authors are not in jail because they write names; date of birth/Dead and life ... in every country you can find these informations in books without problem.
I don't want to do of this list a way of outing people.
It's not my aim. I don't want to criminalize the end of their life, and certainly not to apologyze the third Reich.
Each person has to be careful when giving a name, I can't be responsible of E-mail adressed to mine.
Regards
ROUILLE.

Björn and others,

Jonas Lie became W-SS Sturmbannführer (I've photo of him with that rank) He's listed in the SS-DAL as SS-Oberführer. Sverre Riisnaes became SS-Standartenführer according to SS-DAL Oktober 1944.
The list of Swedich officers is correct as Simon and Daniel wrote. Kurt Lundin never graduated Tölz so I assume he ended as SS-Junker or Standartenjunker.

Dr. Franz Riedweg reached the rank as SS-Obersturmbannführer, born Swiss but became German citizen, married the daughter of von Blomberg.

Best
Martin

Hello!
Martin: "Jonas Lie became W-SS Sturmbannführer (I've photo of him with that rank) He's listed in the SS-DAL as SS-Oberführer. Sverre Riisnaes became SS-Standartenführer according to SS-DAL Oktober 1944"

Interesting, I only knew that Lie was Stubaf d. Res. I did not know that he used the rank in real life. True, he was listed as Oberfhr. The Riisnæs rank is the one of A SS, he was SS Sturmmann (!) in the W SS.

Rouillé: "There are so many books about the Waffen-SS, and the authors are not in jail because they write names; date of birth/Dead and life ... in every country you can find these informations in books without problem"

Yes, the books you mention, will certainly have been approved by the actual ex-SS men before published. Then it is 100% OK. In Norway at least, it would be legally wrong to publish names of sentenced men/women without their approval and knowledge. Even in the epic "Fra Finland til Kaukasus", written by the former Skibatallion commander, the names are disguised as "Hans A." or "Olaf L."
I asked two friends yesterday, who were Ustuf and Ostufs, if they would like their name published, and they promptly said "no".

I do however see your point, and if noone else have second thoughts, I will accept that 100% as a democrat.
