Panzerregiment 3: Oberst Gabler

#1

Post by Stauffenberg II » 15 Jun 2007, 20:53

Hi!

Does anybody know the first name of Oberst Gabler, Cdr. Panzerregiment 3 in 1940? I found his entry within a Württemberg police officer rank list of 1927 (Dienstaltersliste der württembergischen staatlichen Innenverwaltung 1927).

Many thanks in advance!

Jürgen

Until now no first name, but some info I found...

* took over the command of the Pz.-Regt. 3 on 05.03.1940 when Oberst Ritter von Thoma was transfered to OKH : Gabler's rank at this time was Oberstleutnant.
* prior to this he commanded I./Pz.-Rgt. 4 as Kommandeur
* appears as Oberstleutnant and Kdr. I./Pz.-Rgt. 4 on 03.01.1939
* appears on a picture of the Offizierkorps Pz.-Rgt. 4 of 04.02.1938 as Oberstleutnant
* it appears that he served for many years in this regiment ("nach langen Jahren der Zugehörigkeit...)
* left the command of Pz.-Rgt. 3 in october 1940 to Oberst Hermann Balck...

Will have another look in my books...

Cheers,
Charles Steiner

Sorry, still have not found a first name so far, but
* appears on a picture of the Offizierkorps Pz.-Rgt. 4 of 04.02.1938 as Oberstleutnant
..which I provide, source is the 2. Auflage of the divisional history by Strauß, page 295
