SS-Brigadeführer Alfred-Ingemar Berndt
Hi Fellows!
I need to know all about this kind of officer named Alfred-Ingemar Berndt. All I know is that he was a Army officer and a SS-Brigadefuehrer who was a holder of the German Cross in Gold. By the way what was RSi-Hauptamt means?

What does he actually do?
Gentlemen!
What does a deputy Reichs Press Chief actually do? Does he travel to countries that were friendly to Germany? Did Berndt won any foreign decorations?
Regards,
Edward

Foreign Decorations won by Berndt
Hi Fellows,
Dr. Joseph Goebbels was Alfred-Ingemar Berndt's boss in the Propaganda Ministry. Like Adolf Hitler, Reichsminister Dr. Goebbels refused to accept any decorations from any foreign countries friendly with Germany. Why I don't know. Could it be that Goebbels have some of his representives get full credit for relationships with other countries and were decorated very well from them? Perhaps Alfred-Ingemar Berndt was one of them. Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop was one of the Fuehrer's representives in Foreign relationships with other countries and got full credit in dealing with them and was well decorated by them. Just a thought. Edward

Re: Alfred-Ingemar Berndt
honorary SS leaders were administrativelly linked with the branch of the SS which fit the most with his "sphere of life"boursiers Salut!
J'ai besoin de tout savoir sur ce type de fonctionnaire nommé Alfred - Ingemar Berndt . Tout ce que je sais, c'est qu'il était un officier de l'armée et un SS- Brigadefuehrer qui était titulaire de la Croix allemande en or . En passant ce qui a été RSI Hauptamt moyens?

A comment from Doug Nash on the last command and death of Alfred-Ingemar Berndt...
Regards,
Krollspell
http://www.feldgrau.net/forum/viewtopic ... 26&t=16034I heard back from a member of the Wiking who said that Berndt was killed by a strafing Soviet Aircraft when he was standing next to Darges, the Regimental Commander. He said though that while "on paper" Berndt was named as the commander of the II. Abteilung, by that time the regiment had shrunken to only 1 tank company so they had more officers (senior and highly qualified ones, at that) than they had tanks for. Since Berndt had little experience on the Russian Front or in Panthers, Darges kept him at the HQ as a staff officer.

Re: SS-Brigadeführer Alfred-Ingemar Berndt
Hi,
Does anyone know if Alfred-Ingemar Berndt travelled to Spain in september 1936?. It´s sure that there was somebody called Berndt from german propaganda services in Burgos at that time, but I´m not sure if he was Alfred-Ingemar Berndt.
Thanks,
Bernard
