...and this is a rare photo of Stubaf. Dietsche (future RKT) laying on a local traditional kilim. This man really looks different in every photograph. (he is also that shortest, lefthanded man in the following rifle-firing photos, 27-28, and he is speaking with Bayer in photo 23)

Thank you Ivan, I know I can count on you for Prinz Eugen IDs...

Could that be SS-Staf. Ernst Deutsch between Phleps and Eberhardt?

~ Mike

He reminded me of Deutsch too. But it can't be him, since this is 1943 and he arrived in PE the following year (nearly a year after Phleps & Eberhardt left the division).

Ivan

Mike, as you might have already seen in the SS & Polizei section, he is Hstuf. Otto Meckelburg, commander of III/2.

Cheers,
Ivan

Does anyone know more about this picture? Who? Where? When? SOURCE?

[Ivan Ž.]

That's a scan I posted on AHF several years ago, from Kumm's "Prinz Eugen im Bild".

In the center is the divisional Ic, Kirchner, interrogating the captured communist partisans, 1942/1943. The Ustuf. on the extreme left I've seen before, but can't put the name to his face right now.

Cheers,
Ivan

Dear members & fans of the fierce guerrilla warfare in Yugoslavia,

The continuation and expansion of the topic can be now found here: Bandenkampf in Jugoslawien 1941-1945.

All captions are being written in both Serbo-Croatian and English.

Rules are the same as ours here: no politics - only history. All posts sourced.

Stay tuned, lots of interesting photos and infos will follow!

Cheers,
Ivan

About my Grandfather. He was from Zrenjanin/Becskeres. My grandmother goes on and on about how the war devistated her and how she lost every thing but any information I would get from her would be inacurate. No one really knows the truth as to what happened to him. All I know is that his name was Hans. There is one photo of him writing in a book with some thing writen on the back I dont understand. Prehaps some one will understand it. I have scaned and added it next to the photo.
Cheers, John

My grandfather, his 4 brothers and my great grandfather and his 3 brothers all were also from Zrenjanin and were all SS. They all had "KAISER" surname. I have many photos also with no names - just dates. I know my grandfather was in Afrika Korps Division. Another killed in Russia. I never met my grandfather either and family never spoke of war. I would be interested to look at your photos to see if my family members are in your photos and I will go through mine again to see if your grandfather is in any of mine. I'm in Australia also, my grandfather died before i was born and was the only one from the family to come here, the rest ended up living in Kassel, Germany.

Referring the last photo with the USHMM caption " SS Soldiers from the SS-Divion "Prinz Eugen" in Croatia hide with their guns [...]"
More likely an anti-tank gun crew with a flag for the airplane spotter to avoid being caught in friendly fire.
