Oberst Erhard Grosan - Information / Photo Request
Can anyone help with some information or photos of a certain Oberst Erhard Grosan.
Oberst Grosan was the last Commander of the Panzer Truppen Schule at Bergen-Belsen and then went on to form the Kampfgruppe Grosan in April 1945.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Keith

Thanks Harmel , thats great !!
My additions about Grosan ( I have found so far ) :
- between May 1942 und July 1943 Kdr. of Panzerlehrregiment , before that Kdr. of III./PzLhrRgt.
- In March 1945 received the Order from stellv. GenKdo XI to build up Panzerdivsion "Bergen" ( which I still "hunt" ) . Ended as "Kampfgruppe Grosan" ...
Taken from : Helmut Ritgen : "Die Panzertruppenschulen des Heeres"

Only mentioned that because both Ulrich Saft and Helmut Ritgen credited them als RKT ,but as their books were published in the 80s I can live with that
Left uns the question why Grosan returned to Panzertruppenschule as a "Kriegsversehrter" , that must have happened during the time at PzJgAbt. 11 that harmel mentioned .
