Veterinarian Officers of the Waffen-SS

[Bjørn from Norway]

Hello!
Are all these interesting informations being summoned on one page?
If not, the topic should be made "sticky".

Rgds,

Hello Fred,

Thanks for the info about Rieger and Herling.

There's an SS-Ostuf Dr. Ludwig Weisemann mentioned in this thread by Jan-Hendrik and I believe he's identical to the Dr. Weismann mentioned by Hohenwarter.....So it appears that Dr. Ludwig Weisemann was IVc from one of the Btls. within
SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Jäger-Regiment 13 but which Btl.????

- Hohenwarter mentioned, that the former regimental veterinarian got ill, and he replaced him, within the regiment were: “ … Die Btl.-Veterinäre waren Dr. Weismann, Dr. Faber und Dr. Hüttl. …“

In the section 'Foreign Volunteers & Collaboration' I just did find another Vet.-Off.
Waffen-Untersturmführer Elemir Feher.
Served with SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Veterinär-Kompanie 13


Greetings,

Hello Fred,

Thanks for the extra info on Feher, that's really welcome.
And someone did put this thread in the 'sticky-section' from the SS & Polizei-section, so hopefully we can keep this thread alive.......

Thanks,
Mike

Strange, I checked several sites that are dealing with 13. Waffen-Gebirgs-Division but they all mention SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Veterinär-Kompanie 13 and none of them is mentioning SS-Veterinär-Abteilung 13....

Who can help me with some explanation here???


Thanks,
Mike

I don't believe in the existance of more than a Vet.Kp. on Divisional level

Another find is

Hstuf. Emil Schulz, IVc of 6.SS-Frw.Geb.Div. in late 1944.

Found another Vet.Off.
SS-Hauptsturmführer Dr. Herbert Metsch.
IVc with SS-Wirtschafts-Bataillon 12 in 1944.

Born 17.08.1908 in Hildburgshausen he changed later to the SS-Veterinäruntersuchungsamt.

A new one should be

Hstuf. Rudolf Künzl, born 15.05.1905 in Eger.

He was Adj. of Stubaf. Held at the SS-Vet.Ers.Abt. and IVc of the Abt.

Source is an article on this Abt. by our dear Roland Pfeiffer

My friend owns this SS-Obersturmbannführer of Veterinär tunic with a Deutschland Regimental cuffband. The shoulder boards are Army style so consider this as a pre-war/early-war piece. Anybody have any information about a veterinarian of this rank in the Deutschland Regiment say from 1938-1942? I'm sure my friend would be very interested in knowing who this might have belonged to.

Hello Jan-Hendrik,

Thanks for the info about Künzl, didn't had him yet.
Do you know his SS-number and maybe partynumber as well???

And do you know which Eger is mentioned here, the place in Hungary or Cheb(in German language Eger)in Czech Republik??? I think it's Cheb in Czech Republik since Eger in Hungary is Erlau in German language.....



Mike

[Jan-Hendrik]

I agree, i think he is from the Egerland

All i can offer is his WSS-Number: 410971, more I could not find so far...maybe someone else cann add

A bit tricky one....

Ostuf. Wilhelm Horn was IVa of the Vt.Kp.7 of the Prinz Eugen Dvision.
Born 5th January 1906 in Hüddingen.

And, while sorting my notes I found another Vet.Kp. IVa I had noted, once, Ostuf. Hans Koester who was with the Vet.Kp.6 of the Nord-Division.

He was KIA near Paderborn in April, most propably with SS-Pz.Brg. Westfalen.

I know, both belong rather to the Verwaltungslaufbahn, but as both served in Vetenarian companies I think we can add them here, too
