Hello,

With the completion of the SS-Totenkopf Standarten, I will next do the SS-T.V. Sanitats Abteilung. This will be followed by the war time SS-Totenkopf Wach Sturmbann which was responsible for guarding and administrating the Concentration Camps. If anybody has anything to add it is always appreciated and welcome.

Best,

James

Hello,

I asked Phil if I could create a sticky concerning the "History of the SS-Totenkopfverbände" from 1933 to 1945. I looked throught the SS / Polizei forum and found several interesting and exciting topics that covered this organization. Since The SS-T.V. seems to interest many of us, myself included, I thought it would be refreshing to start a sticky regarding the SS-T.V. and include as much information as possible both old and new with the goal in mind of making it as complete as possible, however long this might take all in one place. To start with, it would be nice if we could begin at it's earlier history and work our way foward. Such topics could include the pre-war KL, Guards, pre-war SS-T.V. Insp., SS-T.V. Standarten I, II, III and IV, war time Totenkopfsturmbanne, Auxiliaries and Cloth Insignia / Uniforms ect... I will start with the following below and please help by adding whatever you can since this is meant to be fun, something different and of course historic.

Best,
James

[Sieglinde]

Is there a liste of "enlisted" personnel (guards) at KL Buchenwald and their dienst history? I am looking specifically for a duty history of one Hauptscharft. "Emil Robert Pleissner" who was "in charge" of the krematorium for a period of time. He was reassigned during the early 1940s but I have no idea where I can find this info. He was "executed" in 1948 during the Buchenwald trials at Nuremberg. Thank You.
