Albrand, Karl Wolf, 28.06.1944, Kapitänleutnant z.V., Kommandant Torpedoboot “TA 26”

The “TA 26” was the ex-Italian Ardito. This website states the “TA 26” was assigned to the 3. Geleitflottille.

I found this DKiG holder in Scheibert - he wouldn't by chance be a late award for the 22. Panzer-Division?

Seener, Karl, 02.05.1944, Major, III./Art.Rgt. 140

Best regards,
Shawn

Thanks, Shawn, Jan-Hendrik and Simon !
Always when we are coming closer to a preliminary end there's another momentum of details and precising :D
And Yes, there was portion of the Kriegsmarine left out - great progress here !

Done of the parallel agenda : late war divisions / W-SS Divs further re-check / Kriegsmarine / details

Seener, DKiG, Art.Rgt. 140, added to the Heerestruppen [page 92]

Albrand, DKiG, "TA 26" [ex "Ardito"] added to 3. Geleitflotille [page 119]

As Loerke and Neumann have been awarded for two posts I tend to list them with both respective headquarters.
Neumann, added to 2. TFl. and 8. ZFl. ; Loerke, Zerstörer ? remains open

When through this tour de Kriegsmarine all open points will be gathered and added to [page 105] and/or [page 80].

RE : Waffen-SS Divs

"Das Reich" [page 42]
of note : those men should be correct with "DR" but appear without any clearer unit designation ; no edit neccessary ? Sub-unit for Ehn not known ?
DKiG
Bader, Hans, 24.05.1942, SS-Hauptscharführer, 1./SS-Kradsch.Btl.
Tychsen, Christian, 13.05.1942, SS-Hauptsturmführer, SS-Kradsch.Btl.
Enseling, Rudolf, 09.07.1942, SS-Hauptsturmführer, SS-Pi.Btl.
EBS
Ehn, Hans, 06.11.1941, SS-Unterscharführer, SS-Div. “Reich”
"LSSAH" [page 48]
I once added this EBS holder (Heer Hptm/Maj d.R., KC with I./GR 698, should be him)
Schneck, Ernst, 05.04.1945 [V.S.], Hauptmann, Kampfgruppe Hansen
is it Kgr. Hansen at Budapest ? (not Ardennen, Poteau) ??

Jan-Hendrik,

Thanks for the clarification RE Seener (Art.Rgt. 140)!

Bernd,
Bader, Hans, 24.05.1942, SS-Hauptscharführer, 1./SS-Kradsch.Btl.
Tychsen, Christian, 13.05.1942, SS-Hauptsturmführer, SS-Kradsch.Btl.
Enseling, Rudolf, 09.07.1942, SS-Hauptsturmführer, SS-Pi.Btl.
These are correctly placed with “Das Reich” – all appear (with photos and DKiG proposals) in Mark Yerger’s excellent Knights of Steel Volume 2: The Structure, Development, and Personalities of the 2.SS-Panzer-Division “Das Reich.”
Ehn, Hans, 06.11.1941, SS-Unterscharführer, SS-Div. “Reich”
I’ll have a look in Weidinger’s Das Reich II & III for any mention of him.

Best regards,
Shawn

No luck on finding a reference to Hans Ehn. Unfortunately, the Das Reich histories, like most of the books published by J.J. Fedorowicz, lack indexes making them frustratingly difficult to use as reference books.

Another example : an attempt to use an online list as a reference can't be done without further re-check.

http://www.deutsche-kriegsschiffe.de/Sc ... rkreuz.htm
has listed 15 DKiG holders of the Auxiliary Cruisers in contrast to 13 on the above list by you, Shawn.

These additional two on that above site we currently have classified to Heavy Cruisers :
Schumann, Alfred, 17.11.1942, Korvettenkapitän, 1. Art.Offz. auf Kreuzer “Admiral Scheer”
Wegener, Edward, 03.03.1943, Fregattenkapitän, 1. Art.Offz. auf Kreuzer “Admiral Hipper”
The Auxiliary Cruiser section is revised and in the corporate layout now.
DKiG holders without a concrete ship name added as a "raw data" list at the moment.

This one is pointed out as the position / ship appears to be unclear at the moment :
Schack von, Malte, 12.03.1943, Kapitänleutnant, Schnellbootskommandant auf einem Hilfskreuzer

Schumann, Alfred, 17.11.1942, Korvettenkapitän, 1. Art.Offz. auf Kreuzer “Admiral Scheer”
Wegener, Edward, 03.03.1943, Fregattenkapitän, 1. Art.Offz. auf Kreuzer “Admiral Hipper”
Of note, Schumann (nicknamed “Munki” by his men) is confirmed as 1. Art.Offz of “Admiral Scheer” in Pocket Battleship: The Story of the Admiral Scheer by Theodor Krancke & H.J. Brennecke. Wegener is confirmed as 1. Art.Offz. of “Admiral Hipper” in Koop & Schmolke’s Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral Hipper Class.

This one is pointed out as the position / ship appears to be unclear at the moment :
Schack von, Malte, 12.03.1943, Kapitänleutnant, Schnellbootskommandant auf einem Hilfskreuzer
It appears his ship was the "Michel" (HSK 9). This site has information on von Schack’s exploits while commanding the “LS 4” (“Esau”), a small motor boat carried aboard the “Michel”.

http://www.bismarck-class.dk/hilfskreuzer/michel.html

This page also states that DKiG holder Kapitänleutnant Konrad Hoppe was the Fliegeroffizier of the “Michel” (HSK 9).

Here’s a DKiG addition for the 10. SS-Panzer-Division “Frundsberg”:

Treuenfeld von, Karl, 08.05.1944, SS-Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der W-SS, Kdr. 10. SS-Pz.Div. “Frundsberg”

He does not appear in Scheibert, but Mark Yerger published von Treuenfeld’s complete, approved DKiG recommendation in Waffen-SS Commanders: The Army, Corps and Divisional Leaders of a Legend, Vol. 2.

Shawn

Here’s a DKiG holder for the 5. SS-Pz.Div. “Wiking” that I believe was overlooked:

Wolters, Hermann, 17.11.1943, SS-Untersturmführer, 1./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. “Germania”
