Unknown officers named "von Oertzen"
Dear Gentlemen ,
due to a private request regarding the Wehrkreis II I came across an Oberstleutnant von Oertzen leading the "Wehrkreisunterführerlehrgang" in Neustettin in Jaunary 1945.
Also I found an Oberst von Oertzen as Kdr. of IR 522 in April 1945 .
Is the same person ? Who can provide more on his/their career ?

Re: Oberst Wilhelm von Oertzen
This Wilhelm v. Oertzen is not the DKiG recipient. I have no idea if he is your Gren.Ers.Rgt. 522 commander, but it seems possible.askropp wrote:xx.xx.193x Hauptmann mit RDA vom 01.02.1934 (66)

Re: Oberst/OTL von Oertzen
Another Wilhelm was Wilhelm Otto Sigismund Paul Helmuth Klemens Fritz v. Oertzen, * 17.8.1890 in Colmar im Elsass. He was a Leutnant d.R. in Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 90 and Oberleutnant d.R. a.D. According to the 1969 edition of Gotha, he was an Oberstleutnant d.R. in the Wehrmacht, but I have nothing further on him in World War 2.

From 15.10.1942 Stellenbesetzung of Deutschen Heeresmission in Rumänien : Does anyone knows under which romanian unit this DVK was attached ?Dave Danner wrote:15.12.41 m.W.v. 29.12.41 z.

Re: Oberst/OTL von Oertzen
Hello Rudolf
I doubt that the DVK.160 was attached to a rumanian unit
The numbers 150 on were attached to hungarian units and those 161 on were attached to bulgarian units.
So maybe "160" wrong ? Maybe 106 correct ?
Will You kindly tell me from which roll the Stellenbes. of the DHM Rumänien comes ?
(by the way, if it is a "DVK" why it reads "DAK" ?)

Re: Oberst/OTL von Oertzen
Hello Dave
To Your Wilhelm´s Dienstlaufbahn:
if he was wounded on 26.05.40 how could he become Kdr. IEB 348 already on 27.05.40 ?
Normally after being wounded the soldier was moved to an Ers.Btl. (for Kur, Lazarett).
So I believe that on 27.05.40 (until 15.02.41 ?) he was moved to IEB 348 not as Kdr. but for Kur.....

Re: Oberst/OTL von Oertzen
From the Tätigkeitsbericht of IIa/b of Deutsche Heeresmission in Rumänien for the month of Nov 1942.
Re: Oberst / Oberstleutnant von Oertzen
There was a whole lot of Oertzens, and the OKH clerks made many errors, so I'm still not sure who was who.
Apparently, both Oberst Wilhelm and Oberstleutnant d.R. Dietrich were in Romania, and both are alleged to have served with GEB 348.
One card claims Dietrich was ernannt "v. Kdr. GEB 348 z. Kdr. Unterf. Lehrg. II" on 01.04.1944, but he resurfaces in his old assignment in Romania two months later, so this seems to be wrong. Dietrich was apparently captured in Bucuresti, and if so, he cannot have been in WK II in 1945. Wilhelm may have been the Lehrgangskommandeur, but he was probably never Kdr GEB 348 (he was an Oberst!), but assigned to this unit while recuperating after his own return from Romania. My card says he wasn't Kdt von Konstanz (on the Bodensee), but of "Konstanza" (Constanta) on the Black Sea. In any case, 01.04.1944 seems to be too early for both Oertzens to have taken over the Unterführerlehrgang.
