SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Gaede - 2./SS-Pz.Rgt. 12
Hello,

Also, is someone get the list of the dead of this kompanie for the 24 August 1944 ?
I appreciate your help.

Gaede was an Obesturmführer by the time of the Normandy Invasion;and I think that he never reached the Sturmbannführer rank,maybe Haupsturmführer but no more.
If I remember right,he was born in January 1920 and yes,he survived and was still alive on 2002.
I have no date of death,but I don't know if he's still alive or not.

Marvelous and verious serious sources that couldn't be better. I see that Christ get the Mr Gaede's Wehrpass and i can only say congratulations. It's formidable to met persons who are not only collectors, researchers, but also persons who shares their informations.
Just a little another question.
Do you think that the Gaede's Panther in Normandie wore the tactic number 205 or another one ?
I wish you all success in your research.

Re: SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Gaede - 2./SS-Pz.Rgt. 12
Just 2 words about the 2. Kompanie: he was the last PanzerKompanie to reach the front and was in action in the first days on the left wing of the division;by what I read,it was structured on 3 Zug, for a total of 17 Panthers.
Zugführers:
Untersturmführer Richard Hermann
Standarte-Oberjunker Paul Dienemann
Standarte-Oberjunker Ulrich Ahrens
I have also Ostuf Fritz Kastner KIA on 18.6.1944,reported as belonging to the 2/Pz Rgt 12.

For informations, it's informations goddamned!
I can tell you an important information too about the 2Kp.
The 24 aug 44, the crew from Panther 205 was took by surprise by the reistants and the crew get out the engine and run for their life. Two of them successed to escape, two another were captured and the last one was killed. Who was that Panzerschütz from the 205? That is the question
Since my investigations, i found an old collector who found near the place (30 years ago) of the 205 destroyed a black jacket with the armband LAH. But the jacket was sold in the last years and the person who found the jacket doesnt remeber the grad. When i get the information, i'll tell it to you.

Re: SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Gaede - 2./SS-Pz.Rgt. 12
Is someone get the list of the vermisst from the 2 Kp ? There is reasons to think that a Panzerschütz from this kp - Panther 205 - is lying in the garden of a resistant. His grad was Uffz., but no detail about the exact grade.
Thanks to help him.

Does anyone know with which unit/Division he served with between 1939 and 1941? John Moore's Personalakte states that he saw combat in the Polish campaign and in the Russian campaign. There is no mention of the campaign in the West (1940) or the Balkans (1941). Thanks in advance
