SS-Ostubaf. Heinrich Munker?

[Reader3000]

Hey all, I would like to have further information about SS-Obersturmbannführer Heinrich Munker. He was in command of the SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz Abteilung Nürnberg in 1943.
Is there any other information and/or a photo of him by chance?
Thanks in advance.

Just one question, to be sure of something.

Is SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz-Abteilung 'Nürnberg' the same as SS-Nachrichten-
Abteilung 1 ????

Mike, that's a very good question. I don't know exactly. Because I've got the name and unit from the book "Ohne Siege und Hurra" by Georg Jestadt, who was trained there (basic training and then became a radio-operator) before he was send to the HJ-Division in early 1944.

No, it gets confusing following various reorganizations. The SS-Nachrichten Abteilung 1 and later SS-Panzer Nachrichten Abteilung 1 was the signal unit of the 1.SS-Panzer Div. "LSSAH". However, the SS-Nachrichten Ausbildungs Abteilung 1 in Nürnberg, organized in late 1943/early 1944, was part of the SS-Nachrichten AuE. Rgt. headquartered in Nürnberg. There were 5 such SS-Nachr.Ausbilung Abteilungs at various locations

Hello Panzerass,

Well, thank you for your reply. I was not sure this question was good or stupid but because I didn't know if there was any difference between these two units I posted this question anyway.

I'm almost certain the SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz-Abteilung was based in Nürnberg and this unit was probably used to train people for different divisions or other units.

And the SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz-Abteilung 1 was probably a training/replacement-unit that only belonged to the 'LSSAH'.


Just a thought of course, don't know if it's correct or not.
Greetings,
Mike

No, the SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz-Abteilung 1 was not a sub-unit of the LSSAH. It was another name for the SS-Nachrichten AuE Rgt at a different time. Engineer/Pionier taining and replacement units had similar numerical designations and underwent similar reorganizations.

Hello John,

Thanks for your answer. I was just typing my answer for Panzerass while you're posting your first answer so I only saw that answer after I'd posted my answer.

Now things are a bit clearer and I understand it a bit better as well.



Thanks,
Mike

Thanks to both of you, John and Mike, for the help in this matter.

I guess there's no photo of Munker, is there?

[Mikedc]

Hello Panzerass,

No thanks, just try to do my best.

A last question for John.
The SS-Nachrichten-Ersatz-Abteilung(so without the figure 1)was based in Nürnberg and so this was also a part of the SS-Nachrichten-Ausbildungs- und Ersatz-Regiment when I'm correct. Is this correct?????
