Schlotter, Hans, Ogfr. – Bahnhofswachabt. 2 Oppeln – 30.11.44
??
there is a footnote with this entry which refers to the NKiG list on the following page and it includes Schlotter as part of 7./PzGR 111. I am guessing that the "Bahnhofswachabt. 2 Oppeln" was perhaps a temporary assignment.
these results :
31 KC (29 RK + 2 EL) [page 9] ; DKiG : 106 / DKiS : 2 / NKiG : 10 / EBS : 26
Well, I get 31 RK + 2 EL, and 30 EBS, and only 9 NKiG. I'll compare the lists ASAP.

Here are the recipients of the German Cross in Gold/Silver (no Close Combat Clasps in Gold in 1986 edition of Dörr) who received their awards while assigned to the 78. Infanterie-Division / 78. Sturm-Division, etc.

Of note, I included DKiG recipients of Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 189 during its assignment to the division from 29 Dec 1942-29 Jul 1944 (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=119201).

I also included the two DKiG recipients of Granatwerfer-Bataillon 5 (mot).

Question: Is anyone familiar with this unit abbreviation: 2.(Radf.)/G.s.A. 178? I included two DKiG recipients with this unit designation.

As always, additions/corrections would be most appreciated!
KC list added / Bernd

Here are the recipients of the German Cross in Gold (no German Crosses in Silver), Close Combat Clasp in Gold, and Romanian Order of Michael the Brave, 3rd Class who received their awards while assigned to the 125. Infanterie-Division.

Question: Was Radfahr-Abteilung 125 a component of the 125. Infanterie-Division? I cannot find a reference to this Abteilung at Lexicon der Wehrmacht. Whatever the case, I included three German Cross in Gold recipients from Radfahr-Abteilung 125 in this list.
Yes. Bierlin, Radf.Abt 125 -> his assignment to this unit mentioned here http://www.ritterkreuztraeger-1939-45.d ... n-Otto.htm ; so, ordinary renaming of AA 125 into Radf.Abt 125 in 1942/43, later Div.Füs.Btl (AA) 125 [Tessin is not complete here] / Bernd
As always, additions/corrections would be most appreciated!

Best regards,
Shawn

Regarding 8 Panzer Division.

The only RKT on my list that is not on Shawn’s list is:

Lippelt, Walter, Hptm. – Fhr. I./Pz.GR 8 – 08.05.45

Obviously the question is whether this is the new or old Pz.GR 8? Walter Littmann is also on the list and it is interesting that they were both “Fhr. I./Pz.GR 8” but with different award dates!

My EBS list does not include:

Fröscholdt, Hans-Joachim, Lt.d.R., 1./Pz.Jg.Abt.43, 25.12.1944 (see Pröscholdt below)

who is found on Mark V’s list. However, my list includes several who are not found on Mark V’s list:

v.Brause, Hans-Otto, Oblt. – 6./GR (m) 8 – 27.12.44
Hillebrand, Martin, Oblt. – 2./GR (m) 8 – 26.01.43
Pröscholdt, Hans-Joachim, Lt. – 1./Pz.Jäg.Abt. 43 – 25.12.44
Wilhelm, Jakob, Lt. – 3./Pz.GR 8 – 25.08.44
Wiswedel, Artur, Oblt. – Pz.AA 8 – 05.03.45

Source is Die Deutschen Divisionen 1939-1945, band 2, but mistakes and typos are mine.

I hope this is of some use.

Lippelt is no official RKT as there are no factual proofs for his bestowal.

Hillebrand and von Brause seem to belong to 3.PGD, not to 8.PD, at 8.PD it was since October 1942 PGR 8 :wink:

Well, we have a last round on 8. Pz.Div then :) Let's go through and finish it.

Firstly, Jan-Hendrik, Yes and Yes.
Lippelt, Walter, Hptm. – Fhr. I./Pz.GR 8 – 08.05.45
Not listed by Scherzer, even not in the "unofficial" chapter.
This man/name seems to be a fiction, a non-existing person. Was listed by Fellgiebel. Anyone ever heard or read more about this man ?
Look here the note of rk.de : http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de/index_sea ... rd=Lippelt
v.Brause, Hans-Otto, Oblt. – 6./GR (m) 8 – 27.12.44
Hillebrand, Martin, Oblt. – 2./GR (m) 8 – 26.01.43
Gren.Rgt 8 (mot) as it is to read most likely the rgt of 3. Pz.Gren.Div as J-H said.


Littmann, Walter 17.04.1945 Hauptmann Führer I./Pz.Gren.Rgt 8 is listed with 3. Pz.Gren.Div on [page 11]
KC for actions in the WEST [Scherzer] , award date in connection with "8" (PGR 98 since december 1944 with 8. PD) -> clear arguments for 3. Pz.Gren.Div

EBS list :
Fröscholdt / Pröscholdt ??
obviously the same man from Pz.Jäg.Abt 43 ; he is listed also as a DKiG holder by Shawn on [page 25] like that :
Pröscholdt, Hans-Joachim, 29.01.1945, Lt. d.R., 1./Pz.Jäg.Abt. 43
if I'm correct , Marko took him from the Kindel book. Shawn is working with Scheibert (DKiG). We have a 2:1 result here now for "P" :? I tend to Pröscholdt ; argument : mis-spellings and typos are to find not seldom in divisional histories, could be the case with "Kindel" also, though it is a newer one.

Two EBS holders to add then :
Wilhelm, Jakob, Lt. – 3./Pz.GR 8 – 25.08.44
Wiswedel, Artur, Oblt. – Pz.AA 8 – 05.03.45

Here are the recipients of the German Cross in Gold (no German Crosses in Silver; no Close Combat Clasps in Gold in 1986 edition of Dörr) who received their awards while assigned to the 330. Infanterie-Division.

Note: The remnants of the division formed Divisionsgruppe 330. I am including the German Cross in Gold holders from Div.Gr. 330 under the 342. Infanterie-Division.

As always, additions/corrections would be most appreciated!

Best regards,
Shawn

Thanks Shawn , for following this classification. Let's try to class the recipients of the various Divisions-Gruppen and Regiments-Gruppen to their in fact (new) headquarter units. I'm currently working on KC lists for Korps-Abteilung A - H which turns out to be very difficult. Regarding the KCs there are some late award dates (and unit designations by Scherzer) which make the classification Rgt / disbanded division [-> nov 1943] or Div.Grp/Rgt.Grp / Korps.Abt [mostly until april 1944] very difficult. Think it will be the same for the DKiG etc. Maybe we cannot solve this field completely.

Shawn, are you going to make a re-check for some of Jeff's additions [top of page 37] with Scheibert and Dörr ?

regards, Bernd

all on [page 23] 362. ID : 9 KC (8 RK + 1 EL) / 363. VGD : 9 KC / 352. ID/VGD : 8 KC (7 RK + 1 EL) / 361. ID/VGD : 8 KC (7 RK + 1 EL) / 359. ID : 7 KC (5 RK + 2 EL) / 356. ID : 3 KC / 353. ID, 355. ID, 367. ID : 2 KC / 357. ID, 377. ID : 1 KC

Re:
1. Pz.Div [page 34]
Question: Per Lexikon der Wehrmacht, the 1. Panzer-Division’s Feldersatz-Bataillon 81 was redesignated Feldersatz-Bataillon 73 on 1 Sep 1943. I presume the number “81” was reutilized for another Feldersatz-Bataillon and if so, how should the following German Cross in Gold recipient be counted?

Schneider, Josef, 20.01.1945, Oblt. d.R., 3./Felders.Btl. 81
Shawn,
FEB 81 -> on 01.09.1943 renamed -> FEB 73 , until end with 1. Pz.Div with this number
simultaneously FEB 97 / 97. Jäg.Div renamed -> FEB 81 , until end with 97. Jäg.Div with this number
[source : Tessin]
I have added Schneider, Josef to the 97. Jäg.Div DKiG list on [page 25] -> 106 now

by chance another confirmation regarding "81" :
in co-operation with Hannes (Traditionsgemeinschaft) when re-viewing the 50. Inf.Div KC list it turned out that Werner Streck was awarded the KC on 28.12.1943 as Führer FEB 81 while subordinated to 50. ID at the Krim. Didn't make that correction yet. 50. ID had it's FEB 150 (think, redesignated that time) , so FEB 81 new original part of 97. Jäg.Div then beyond this short time subordination.
Streck, KC (50. ID division site) : http://www.ritterkreuztraeger-1939-45.d ... Werner.htm

Re:
Quote:
Jeck, Peter, He.Hpt.Werkmeister – Pz.Werkstatt Kp. 11 – 29.04.45
we had him with Pz.Rgt 11 ; will check this again finally, Shawn
provided by Jeff as a DKiS recipient of 11. Pz.Div ("Die Deutschen Divisionen..").
He is listed on the 6. Pz.Div DKiS list on [page 31] / = Pz.Rgt 11

I think he is listed correctly.
The situation with the Panzer-Werkstatt-Kompanien isn't to easy, but if I'm correct there was a development through the years ; the first time Pz.Werkst.-Züge of the regiments -> upsized to Kompanien. Per "Pz.Div 43" structure 24.09.1943 : Division : Kp , Regiment : Zug ; per "Pz.Div 44" structure 03.08.1944 : Division : Kp , Pz.Rgt : Kp too .
[source / Pz.Div entry by MArtin Block : http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de/]
in 1945 "11" should belong to Pz.Rgt 11. Unfortunately nothing to extract from Tessin here, to me the divisional Werkstatt-Kompanie of 11. PD must have the number "61" following the numbering system of it's divisional troops. What is making this research "preliminary" is that I don't know the exact situation of the units in question.

It would be great if someone could finally help us here.

regards, Bernd
