I suppose, that Vogt lost his memory...
When he got possibility to enter in SS in the Year 1939/1940, he got also very good job (Chief of Referat:RSHA IV A1 „Kommunismus, Marxismus, Einheitsfront, illegale Propaganda“and...SS-Stubaf.
So, he was SS-Sturmbannführer from 01.09.39.
For sure he was SS-Stubaf. when he came to Veldes/Bled, Slovenia. He was there allready on 08.07.42 or before.
