I would guess that Victor Andreewitsch and Wassilij Antonow were Russian, but with their names spelled in German in this case.

Martin and Ulrich Ahrens Estonian
Andrejs Allis Latvian
Johannes Alt German or Estonian
Peteris Antens Latvian
Eduards Atrens Latvian

Börge Andersen Denmark
Wassilij Antonow Russian (Vassili Antonov)
Victor Andreewitsch Russian ( Victor Andreievitch)
Hans Andriessen Nederland

France Arnaud is a French name for sure

Hope it helps

Johannes Alt - Should be Estonian
Paul Akkermann - either Estonian or German. I have seen this name before in connection with battles in Estonia in 1944. Cannot recall right now where.

Untersturmführer Wassilij Antonow, Born 13/08/1921.

Probably, he served in 32 SS-Division "30 Januar" in 32 SS.Pi.Abt.?

it is the first time I heard about this Ustuf. ARNAUD , born 5. 2.17 . If I look to John moore fuhrerliste, I see that he serves in "SS-Vert.E.Btl.". What is this unit??

I do search about french SS, and it is first time I heard about him. Is someone here know more about it??

If his surname is really "France", i found it strange, "France" is usually a feminine surname, not masculine....

thanks for help! :)

Waffen-Untersturmführer Wassilij Antonow was at 19.01.1945 Member of Osttürkischer Waffen-Verband der SS(„Harun-el-Raschid“)

His nationality was Wolgatatar (Volga Tatars)!

There was an SS-Ustuf Rudolf Acuntius (slightly different) born 13 Jan 1922 in Landau/Westmark.

SS-Ustuf Johannes Alt (born 15 March 1915) had the SS # 92 459 so I think you will find he was a pre-war German SS enlisted man who joined the SS in mid 1933.

I have recorded an SS-Ustuf Magnus Ahlers (born 4 June 1912, Oldenburg) who was an SD officer, promoted SS-Ustuf in Jan 1943, he was SS # 86 695 and I think he also joined the SS in mid 1933.

Hello All

Any news about Johannes Alt? His SSO is one of the poorest I have seen. It only contain the following info:

Name, DoB, SS-Nr, SS-Ustuf 9.11.44 and that he served in 23.SS-Frw.Pz.Gr.Div Nederland. (TFK)

I am sure that he is of german Nationality.

Best regards
Georg
