SD-Leitabschnitt or SD-Oberabschnitt

[steve248]

That must be SS-Hstuf. (20 April 1941) Willi Fuchs who was Leiter, SD-HAst Augsburg in Oct 1941 having earlier spent two years at SD-Ast Graz.
Willi Fuchs is listed in the SS-DAL of 1 Dec. 1938 (amended 15 June 1939) but now appears not to have a SSO file.
This probably means he died in or before 1944.
He was born 9 July 1912 (no location); SS No. 107300

Out of interest which archive has Schlesinger's denazification file? He died 17 Sept. 1964, probably Munich.

Thank you again Steve248!

Actually, Willi Fuchs was my first guess as well. But according to an article on Fuchs' activities in the late thirties (see attachment) he died of tuberculosis in Graz at the end of November 1940. Maybe Fuchs was assigned to Augsburg but did not take over his new position before his death?

Schlesinger's denazification file is in Staatsarchiv Augsburg (Schlesinger was born in Augsburg).

There are some conflicts with the dates in the book you have digitized, and the SS-DAL.
SS-Ustuf.: book says 1939, and the SS-DAL of 1 Dec. 1938 (with amendments dated 15 June 1939) which says 20 April 1938;
SS-Ostuf.: book says 1940, and the SS DAL of 1 Dec. 1938 (ditto) which says 20 Jan. 1939.

In regard to his death quoted in the book as 26 Nov. 1940; in the SSO for Dr. Erich Lang, his Vorschlags-Protokoll for commission as SS-Ustuf. dated Feb. 1941 is signed by SS-Ostuf. Willi Fuchs, SD-Ast Graz, Abteilungsleiter.

Maybe Albert Smetanin has the SSO for Erich Lang that he can post here - I saw Lang's SSO at the Bundesarchiv some years ago and just made notes.

Interesting that the book you digitized, the author appears to have seen his SSO (which is not listed in the usual places), so possibly they saw his RuS (Rasse- und Siedlungsfragebogen) file.

Unfortunately with lockdown in Europe and an additional 14 days self-isolation when you travel somewhere, not a lot to be done at the moment.

Another question for BlackMirror, out of interest does the Staatsarchiv Augsburg have large numbers of denazification files and are they just for people denazified in Augsburg? I am just surprised that Staatsarchiv Augsburg have them as I assumed the Staatsarchiv in Ludwigsburg held the denazification files for the US Zone.

@Steve248
I am not familiar with the situation in Baden-Württemberg, but in Bavaria denazification files are stored at the State Archives of Munich, Augsburg, Nuremberg, Amberg, Bamberg, Würzburg and Coburg. Bavaria is divided into six administrative districts ("Regierungsbezirke"). Each State Archive (except from Coburg) is responsible for a Regierungsbezirk. For example, all denazification files of local denazification courts (Munich, Traunstein, Miesbach etc.) belonging to Regierungsbezirk Oberbayern are stored in Staatsarchiv Munich. In the late 1940s all local denazification courts were dissolved and denazification was centralised in Munich, so especially high ranking Nazi officials can be found in the Staatsarchiv München as well.

SD-Oberabschnitt "Sued-West"

[George_W]

Siegfried Assmuss and Josef Faulhaber were later posted to KdS Lublin.

SS-Hstuf. Assmuss, born 20.08.1912 Gross Plochotschin/Westpreussen, posted to KdS Lublin (i have him also with KdS Radom but without any dates).

SS-Hstuf. Faulhaber, born 27.04.1911 Rottweil, posted to KdS Lublin

I have Faulhaber as the head of Abt. SD with KdS Lublin in 1940 or early 1941.

It is possible that Faulhaber was the head of Abt. SD witho KdS Lublin before March 1940.

He lived after the war in West Germany and was certainly interrogated. He died before 1973.

Faulhaber came with a SIPO Kdo from Oppeln into Czestochowa (Tschenstochau) in Sept 1939.
Nov 1939 to KdS Lublin, SD work.
March 1940 called up to Waffen-SS and served in LSSAH until spring 1942 when released due to stomach & bowel problems. A year later (1943) posted to RSHA VI CZ later VI F and ended war with VI S.

Assmuss with KdS Radom from 1942

Thank You for these informations.

Faulhaber was replaced in KdS Lublin by Dr. Friedrich Buchardt, after him the heads of Abt. III (SD) with KdS Lublin were SS-Stubaf. Fritz Stöcker and SS-Stubaf. Dr. Ewald Heinrich Biegelmeyer.

Do You maybe know what happened to Faulhaber directly after 1945? Was he interned by the US or British authorities?
