Can somebody help me with some more info about this officer??? I only know he was Gebietskommandeur at Novogroedok. I couldn't find any more info through the search-engine on the Axis-forum and also on Google I only find info that I already had.

So a short bio on his career(before and during WW II), a date of birth and info on what happened to him after the war would be much appreciated.

In the book "Allgemeine SS" from Mark C. Yeger is stated that he was SS und Polizeigebietskommandeur "Quarnero" from October 27, 144 till 1945 as a SS-Obersturmbannführer.

The question is indeed was he a reserve Oberleutnant in the army (heer) ??

Maybe we are talking about two different people here with the same familyname and date of birth ??

I have just checked my old paper files and there is a note made at the Wiener Library in London in 1978 and it says that he was "Executed - Yugoslavia - 1946 ref.Cardex".

The ref.Cardex was probably referring to the thousands of index cards which they had on SS officers.

My research is not over yet, because there is still one question. If this is the same guy (and i think so) why is he burried as a Oberleutnant in the army (heer). According to the DAL Oct. 1943 (info Jérôme), there is not stated that he was a reserve officer in army. Perhaps there is more info in the DAL 1944 ??

The second question is is there more info about his trial ???

Thanks in advance,

Mulisch

I think the buriel notice refers to the rank of Oberleutnant could be a mistake and it should be Oberstleutnant which is the same as SS Obersturmbannführer. A number of burials do not show SS ranks but they convert them to military ranks. Maximilian von Herff's grave in Staffordshire Englanf shows his ran as General no mention of any SS rank

Good point Phil

there are 2 other SS officers (at least) buried in the UK and their ranks are given as OBLT.

One is a 12th SS Ostuf (ex LSSAH Feldgenarmerie) and the other was also an Ostuf.

If Pete can share this info about his trial that would be great, for sure. So thank you all for starting this conversation, you all make a good point here.

And info about the other two officers Pete is refering too is also welcome, I wonder who they might be.

Greetings,

Guys
if I had any more details I would be pleased to give them. I was very hungry for new information back then and I just copied down everything I could find. What I have put above must be all the information that was there, if there had been details of a trial you can bet I would have written them down. From memory a lot of the cards had bits of newspaper cuttings and photos stuck to them, in all languages, some were typed and some were hand written, some had just one line of information and some men had many cards filled out.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the information !!!!!

I have still one question. The cards you are refering to, do you know if they are still at the Wiener Library in London ????

If so, do you have the adress of the Wiener Library.

Thanks in Advance,
