Kapitän zur See Siewert - Deutsche Legion
Hello! Can anyone confirm if Kapitän zur See z.D. Paul Siewert was commander of the Deutsche Legion? Many sources simply mention Kapitän zur See Siewert without giving his first name. Siewert was killed in action (date?) and succeeded to command by his chief of staff, Hauptmann Otto Wagener (future Generalmajor z.V. and SA-Gruppenführer Dr. phil. h.c.). Thanks for any assistance!
Best regards,
Shawn
