OoB of the 15. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS

#1

Post by Phil Don » 15 Oct 2007, 14:30

After the 32., 33. and 34. Waf.Gren.Rgt. der SS, I'm searching the OoB of the rest of the division.
This what I have for artillery regiment:
Stab Batterie: Hstuf SVARZBACHS or SVAREBERGS Paulis
I. Abteilung:
Ostubaf Eduards GRIĶIS
Hstuf Aleksandrs MATEASS
Hstuf Egons EGLĪTE (KIA)
Hstuf Jānis TŪTE

II. Abteilung
Ostubaf Edgars BĒRZIŅŠ
Hstuf Eduards OZOLINS

III. Abteilung:
Ostubaf Alfrēds LĪNIŅŠ
Hstuf Oskar KESSELS

IV. Abteilung :
Hstuf SVARZBACHS or SVAREBERGS Paulis
Ostubaf Jēkabs SELS
Stubaf Kārlis VELMERS

The only battery commander I know is Hstuf Karl BLASE (surely german) at the 10 battery.

Is someone having a more exact OoB and photos of the bataillon's commanders.

Thank you

Phil.

At the head of the medical bataillon, I have a latvian Hstuf JANSONS. Do you know his first name?
And have you the name of the commander of the veterinary company?

Thanks and regards.

Hi Phil

The only officer that I have with the name Jansons in the medical bataillon is Obersturmführer Voldemars Jansons as chef of the 2ª Company

Hi Phil!

The commander of the veterinary company was a German: Stubaf. Dr. Friedrich Wahl. There were two medical companies (I have no info on a medical battalion): 1st Company commanded by Hstuf. Dr. Egerts (sorry, no first name known), the 2. commanded by V. Jansons as Juanjo stated in his post. There was also a medical transport unit commanded by Hstuf. Bātiņš (again, no first name known). The Divisionsarzt was Ostubaf. Dr. Kurt Tiedjen.

Best regards,

VJK

Thank you VJK

I have nothing on Hstuf Bātiņš. The only officer with an approaching name in my list is an Ostuf, Alberts BāLtiņš who serve at the 15th division.

For the medical "battalion" perhaps the 2 medical companies and the medical transport unit were group into a medical battalion (I think it was the case in others divisions).

Regards.

Phil.
