The Scherzer work you cite- is it Himmlers militärische Elite - Die höchst dekorierten Angehörigen der Waffen-SS, Band I? I presume it must be.

And I have got to get a copy of it for myself.

I have seen several old threads with a discussion about Karl Heinz Anlauft. One in particulare promoted him to SS-Ostubaf., there is no source of him getting over the rank SS-Hstuf. in his SSO.

Please see attached file with the things I have written about him.

Sources: SSO 015 and SSO-RS Anlauft, Karl Heinz
