Can anyone help regarding senior staff personnel assigned to Wehrkreis IV (Dresden) in 1934? I am particularly interested in the command, chief of staff, intelligence and counterintelligence officers assigned to Wehrkreis IV during this period. As always, thanks for all assistance rendered.

The correct designation was 4. Division & Befehlshaber im Wehrkreis IV, HQ: Dresden.

#1
The Commander from 01.01.1929-31.10.1931 was Gen. d. Inf. Edwin von Stülpnagel (24.01.1876-06.03.1933). He received the Pour le merite on 04.08.1918. He retired in 1931.

#2
The Commander from 01.11.1931-30.09.1933 was the later Gen. d. Kav. Kurt-Ludwig Freiherr von Gienanth (06.12.1876-03.04.1961) the former Cdr. of the 3. Kavalleriedivision as Gen. Lt. He retired on 30.09.1933 at which date he became Gen. d. Kav.

#3
The Commander from 01.10.1933 on was the later Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm List (14.05.1880-16.08.1971), the former Cdr. of the Infantry School, from 01.10.1933 as Gen. Lt. and later (01.10.1935) as Gen. d. Inf. He led the Division until 01.10.1935 when it was renamed IV. Armeekorps and then until 1938 when he received a Gruppenkommando.

Enclosed are pics. I will try to find the Chief of Staffs from at least 1933 on.
