Oberst Freiherr von Süßkind-Schwendi
Hi!
Following the ugly GE tradition to give no first names I have a problem with an Oberst Freiherr von Süßkind-Schwendi. I have found out that Hugo was Oberst i. G..
But there were two: Hugo and Max-Theodor
Who was the one leading the reduced Abwehr Dept. in the OKW in 1944. Anymore data on him if so please? How long did he lead the Dept. because in 1945 there is already a Chief of Staff Wehrkreis I called Freiherr von Süßkind-Schwendi.
Best!
Jürgen

Hi gentlemen!
Thank you very much for your help.
I am referring to an excellent post made by Qvist:
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... krummacher
He is stating that there was an Intelligence-/Counter-Intelligence Dept. subordinated to the WFSt, called Abt. für Frontaufklärung und Truppenabwehr. My guess is that this department was responsible for frontline tasks not taken over by the RSHA.

There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.

Re: Oberst Freiherr von Süßkind-Schwendi
Hugo was Chef des Stabes in der Festung Königsberg 1945. If you want more info on him, I corresponded with him many years ago so drop me a line.

If you can read German, you might want to look at 'So fiel Königsberg' by Otto Lasch.
