Ostubaf. Andreas Meyer-Malder

Is he the same person with Oberst Andreas Mayer-Mader, who was on the staff of General Ernst August Kostring, the inspector general of the Osttruppen?

Could anyone help me find the fates of the following personel of the infamous Sonderkommando Dirlewanger

Hstuf. Josef Grohmann

All help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
I have SS Totenkopfring of Hstuf. Josef Grohmann. It was found near of Prachatice - Czech republic.

Hi
 
It should also be added to officers of the III./SS-Sturm Regiment 2.
For example, to the SS-Hauptsturmführer Erich Langelotz. Langelotz, with number of Algemeine-SS 9,182, and born on January 12, 1892. Langelotz was an accountant, and was arrested by the Gestapo, on January 13, 1944. According to annotations of an article of the Spiegel for having made several dark things, which he did not like to talk about. He would be sent to the Concentration Camp in Sachsenhausen, and later, in November 1944, recruited for the SS-Sondereinheit "Dirlewanger".

http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-29193650.html

It would be assigned to the command of the 10./SS-Sturm Regiment 2; 2 SS-Sturmbrigade "Dirlewanger". Sent his unit to the northeast of Hungary, would be one of the officials who would participate in the desertions of the month of December of 1944.

It appears also reflected that the official of the 9./SS-Sturm Regiment 2; 2 SS-Sturmbrigade "Dirlewanger", was an SS-Untersturmführer, formerly a General Staff officer degraded.

[Bagaudas]

The III./SS-Sturm Regiment 2; 2 SS-Sturmbrigade "Dirlewanger", to which Langelotz belonged, was a special unit configured mainly by "convicts" for political crimes, that is, communists, socialists, or convicted of common crimes.

Langelotz, would reach the enemy lines.

Other officers, I'm not sure if III./SSSturm Regiment 2, or other companies, are Eilers and Reinhold. Both acted alongside companies 11 & 12 of the aforementioned battalion during the Slovak Uprising.

Finally, this officer was demoted in 1944.

SS-Untersturmführer Kurt-Heinz Meyer, born in the city of Bochum on October 24, 1914. With number of SS-268.018. Assigned with grade of SS-Untersturmführer to I./SS-Gebirgsjäger Regiment 14, 7 SS-Freiwilligen Gebirgs Division "Prinz Eugen", submitted to council of war in 1943. He will be condemned to prison, and degraded to SS-Schütze. With respect to Meyer it says that it would be sent to the SS-Sonderregiment with SS-Schütze degree in the month of February 1945, falling into action on February 24, 1945. The annotation appears in the Book of Stuart B.T. Emmett "Strafvollzugslager der SS und Polizei", but the annotation mentioned at the end of the book is related to page 467 of the book, in which the following appears with respect to this degraded officer.

"..Dirlewanger led the size of a battalion under the leadership of Ustuf Meyer to deploy along the Wolska in the east of the city and people on probation made their way into the center of the city." Upon discovering that Dirlewanger he was still in Berlin on August 8, the Reichsführer-SS angrily ordered him to leave the capital immediately for Warsaw ... "

Heinrich Amann received EK II on the 29.07.1943 as SS-UStuf.

Also

SS-Hauptsturmführer Erwin Walser
SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt Gramatke
SS-Obersturmführer Egyd Ingruber
SS-Oberscharführer Friedrich Böhm
SS-Unterscharführer Hans-Friedrich Lühr
Hauptmann d.Sch. Thido Mehlen
Oberleutnant d.Sch. Joseph Steinhauer

Question: is Heinrich Amann correctly Heinrich Ammann?
