Trial Erwin Rösener

[cynthia]

Wow! This is great information on Rösener. Gives a personal look at how Rösener was feeling and thinking, and I like knowing these details. Is all of your source of information on Rösener from the Archives in Ljubljana?

Or is there a book with these letters and details on Rösener in it? If so, what is the name and author?
Seems like somebody would have done it.
I would love to read the whole story on Rösener.

I agree with you and also, member Hecht, on the "Gottglaubig" subject. What you stated, sounds right to me from what I have read.
Thanks so much for all your help!!

One unknown picture of Rösener with the Bandenkampfabzeichen.
BTW, as far as I know, gottglaublig is not the same as agnostic; it means "believer" but not in relation to any particular religion.

Thanks for this photo.
SS-Staf. in the middle is Max Schimmelpfennig.

I wonder whether Rösener fell foul of Himmler with all these wives.
According to "Das Schwarze Korps" of 10 Oct 1940, Rösener when HSSPF Rhein married Gudrun Heidinger of Wiesbaden on 21 Sept 1940.
In the post above, Rösener is marrying wife number three, Ingeborg Beez in 1943.
I suppose it would not have been a problem is he was a widower in 1943, though Ruth Bettina Birn in her HSSPF book states Rösener divorced in 1942.

Out of interest Rösener surrendered to Allied forces at Spittal an der Drau on 17 May 1945.
From 5 June 1945 he was at the British interrogation centre in Rome Cinecitta. A single interrogation report dated 1 July 1945, but not all the pages, is available in British National Archives. For those interested, Rösener was repeatedly "bugged" in his British prison talking with Uiberreither (and others, I think, copy reports also in same source as above.
