Dear all

I have one problem with his bio. This problem i found on two homepages, this one of Michael Miller and the Homepage Deutsche Polizei.

Here is the problem:

Both site tells that he joined the SS 1.3.1931. But in the promotions part they write that entered directly as an SS-Standartenführer and gives the date of 1.3.1932. Which date is correct ???

Thank you all for an short answer.

Greetings

Hi all,


good and unique date is 15.6.31
the confusion came from a wrong reading of the SS Dienstlaufbahn of Theo Berkelmann which was presented like this

Datum dienstgrad truppenteil inhalt der verfugung

1931 15.6 SS Staf Reichsführer SS -
1932 6.3 SS Staf Reichsfûhrer SS Adjudant

the column "dienstgrad" repeat the current grade at each line

best

Georges
