this is all I've got - sorry

Don't be sorry Iltis, you really don't have to apologize.

This is already great info for me because I didn't had anything at all.
And as you probably already know I'm already a happy guy by even getting the smallest piece of info.

So this is something in my eyes and again I can add another new name to my ever growing files.

Greetings,
Mike

According to this info SS-Ostuf. Helmut Stillhammer was killed by the members of Polish underground (Polish Home Army and famous action near Celestynów) in May 1943:

20.05.1943
Folgende Angehörige des Kommandeurs der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD im Distrikt Lublin sind am 20. Mai 1943 während der Begleitung eines Gefangenentransportes in der Nähe von Warschau von „Banditen“ in ein Feuergefecht verwickelt worden und gefallen.
Kriminalassistent Hubert FLEISCHER
Kriminalangestellter Walter GRAMS
SS-Rottenführer Hermann HELLMERS
SS-Mann Josef NEUHOLD
SS-Obersturmführer Helmut STILLHAMMER
Die Beisetzung der Gefallenen war am Vormittag den 24.05.1943 auf dem Heldenfriedhof in Lublin angesetzt.

I wonder why there was no obituary of Stillhammer published in any BBL (unlike Fleischer, Grams and Neuhold).

I also have the note that he came to Poland from Stuttgart, so his Heimatdienststelle was probably Stapo Stuttgart.

Concerning his obituary the main reason most probably is, that his SSO does not exist at least at NARA.
