Christian Bachmann SS-TK

[Georg_S]

Hello

Can someone give me the following info on this officer of the SS-T.-Div.

NSDAP Nr. (Also when he entered the Party if possible)?
SS-Nr. (Also when he entered the SS if possible)?

I have the following units that he served in, but can someone fill the gaps.

Fhr., 11./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt.5 "Totenkopf" 6.9.1943
Fhr., II./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt.5 "Totenkopf" 28.2.1945

Did he ever the right to wear the Ehrenwinkel and did he revieve a Julleuchter?

Does anyone also know when he got the Verw. Abz. im Gold?

And at last there is difficult to find a good photo of this Officer, does anyone has a _good_ photo of him to share??

Best regards,

Georg

Hello all

Old thread wich I once started, I am currently rearranging my Vol. 2.1 and when I get to Christian Bachmann I notice that I still miss the promotion date when he became SS-Stubaf. Anyone who knows when he got that promotion. It´s not mentioned in his SSO.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Georg
