Hi,
I search notices about this Oberst Majer/Mejer that was the comandant of the Flak in Palermo in 1943. Who can help me to get news on this man?
Thank you.

The name is misspelled and there is no first name or unit. The correct spelling is MAIER, MAYER, MEIER or MEYER.
MAYER, Anton. (DOB: 09.08.81 in Gaming/NiederÖsterreich). Very unlikely.
MEYER, Friedrich-August. (DOB: 19.09.99). (R, DKG). 01.10.37 Hptm., K-Offz. Stab/Rgt. General
Göring. 23.10.39 Maj., in Rgt. General Göring, appt Kdr. Res.Flakscheinwerfer-Abt. 438. 07.41
Obstlt., appt Kdr. Flakscheinw-Rgt. 56 (to 20.05.43). 20.05.43 appt Kdr. Flak-Rgt. “Hermann
Göring” (to 24.09.44). 01.10.43 promo to Oberst. 24.09.44 Oberst, appt Kdr. Fsch.Flak-Rgt.
“Hermann Göring” (to 11.44). 11.44 Oberst, appt Kdr. Fsch.Pz.Ers.-u.Ausb.Brig. “Hermann Göring”
(to 25.01.45). 01.01.45 awarded the DKG. 25.01.45 Oberst, appt Kdr. Fsch.Pz.Ers.-u.Ausb.Brig. 1
“Hermann Göring” (to 03.45). 09.05.45 Oberst, Kdr. Fsch.Pz.Ers..u.Ausb.Brig. Hermann Göring
awarded the Ritterkreuz. (n.d.) postwar he changed his name to Friedrich-August Meyer-Schewe.

These are the only two Flak officers with this name in the rank of Oberst who were on Sicily during 1942-43.
