I think I got 'our' Wallroth:

Nachname:Wallroth
Vorname:Kraft-Helmut Gotthelf Peter
Dienstgrad:Hauptmann
Geburtsdatum:30.07.1916
Geburtsort:Flensburg
Todes-/Vermisstendatum:03.02.1944

per Volksbund.

According to Jung's History of the PzRgt. GD his Kp. was subordinated to 11. PD that time.

Jan-Hendrik

Addenum & Correction: he was KIA as Fhr. of I./Pz.Rgt. 26 !!

[Jan-Hendrik]

I´am sorry, but Baumunk died in 1974, so it is quiet difficult to get some information. I can try to contact his wife, but it will take some time.

Gerrit

Per Jung, Geschichte des Pz.Rgt. GD,, p. 213, he was WIA heavily on 09.08.1944 during the attack on Wilkowischken.

Addenum per HANS:

Oberleutnant 01.08.38 BAUMUNK Georg 23.06.1912- (Stab Pz.Rgt. 7) Oberstleutnant (01.10.44)

[Jan-Hendrik]

Who is ?
Oberstleutnant first name ? Baumungk , Kdr. III./Pz.Rgt. "GD"

Tracing down his first name and where he came from I found the following data. Can anyone confirm my hypothesis that this is one and the same man and the later OTL Baumungk ?

Pre 1939 / 1939 - ??

France 1940 : Oberleutnant Baumunk , Chef 5./Pz.Rgt. 7 / 10. Pz.Div.
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... er/PR7.htm

"Barbarossa" , 1941 : ??

edit :
Kdr. FEB 140 / 22. Pz.Div. 00.00.42- 00.07.42
[formed in Jan 1942 in Landau/Pfalz ; transfered later to the Krim]

German Cross in Gold (per Scheibert)
Baumunk, Georg, 12.02.1943, Hauptmann, II./Pz.Rgt. 204 / 22. Pz.Div.

in July 1943 (temporary) Führer of Pz.Abt. 52 : two variants per this thread
On 52nd Abteilung, CPT Georg Baumunk commanded from 6-24 July 43, but he relieved the initial commander
10.07.43 Hptm. Baumunk was appointed Führer of Pz.Abt. 52
...
22.07.43 Rittmeister von Sivers returns to take over command of Pz.Abt. 52

1 August 1943 - 1 April 1944 Kdr. s.Pz.Jäg.Abt. 653 (ex StuG.Abt. 197) : Hptm / Major
http://www.die-sturmartillerie.com/197.htm - the spelling here Baumungk !
http://www.ordersofbattle.darkscape.net ... l/653.html - Baumunk

and then in April 1944 ( 25 ) taking over the "GD" Tiger Abt.

Was there a insecurity about the spelling of his name - the bit unusual "g" or not ??

regards
Bernd

Hauptmann Baumunk, Fhr. of III./PzRgt. 204 was appointed as Kdr. of this Abt. m.W.v. 25.09.1942
