I have Klepsch als Kommandeur der Ordnungspolizei beim SS- und Polizeiführer Lettland since 19.09.1943.
Could this be when he was appointed and Dienstantritt 19.09.1943. Or when he took command in KdO Lettland
Otherwise there seems no one held the post since 01.10.1943. when Oberst.d.Schupo. Walter Abraham left.
As for Eberhard Herf. I have since found in my files - (whether correct or not)
SS-Brigadeführer. u. GenMaj.d.Pol. Eberhard Herf SS# 411 970
28.02.1942. - 02.08.1943 Kommandeur der Ordungspolizei Charkow - HQ Charkow - b. BdO Ukraine -
16.07.1943 - 28.07.1943, zugl. Chef des Stabes der Bandenkampfverbände (von dem Bach) -
Trans. b. Stab SS-Oberabschnitt Böhmen und Mähren, Prag
So it seems unlikely he assumed command but anything is possible!
Any comments and corrections welcome
