I stand corrected. The HPA PV that I referenced has Strachwitz, "Kdr.d.I.Abt.Pz.Rgt.2", being named "Kdr.d.Pz.Abt.A". Since Hyazinth was Kdr., I./Pz.Rgt. 2 at this time (note above biographies posted by askropp and Dieter), I believed that it was him.

OK. But, that still doesn't address the issue of whether Hyazinth commanded I./Pz.Rgt. 2 as stated in the above biographies or not? Were he and Manfred both in Pz.Rgt. 2 at the same time?

Yes, Manfred being an active officer with a preferred promo in 1933 and Hyazinth from the Army Reserves. They served in the same regiment with Manfred becoming Kdr. I./PzR 2 from 10.11.1938 on until being appointed Kdr. Tauchpanzerabt. A, being succeded by Hyazinth.

Btw: Does the Personalveränderungen give the name of Tauchpanzerabt. B, C and D too?

You have cleared up the Commanders of Tauchpanzer A - D. The only change until Barbarossa (1941) was that Schneider-Kostalski took over C (later III/PzR 6) and Peter was transferred to PzR 36 as Kdr. I. Abt.

Here is a clipping of a hand-written note referring to Strachwitz added to the 27 Feb 1944 (21.30 Uhr) entry of the KTB of Armeegruppe Narwa. Although I am unable to decipher the entire note, it appears to read "Oberst Graf Strachwitz (mit?) der Führung der Panzer im Abschnitt der Gruppe Berlin beauftragt." If anyone would be able to further decipher the note, I would be most appreciative.

Lieber Todd, glad to help you :) Dieter

Thank you, Dieter. I still find it difficult to read some hand-written German.

From KTB Armeegruppe Narwa: "17,50 Uhr. Oberst Graf v. Strachwitz ist von Herrn Gen.Oberst Model als ‚Kampfkommandant Narwa‘ eingesetzt und hat sich beim III. SS-Pz.K. zu melden.“ (10 Mar 1944)
Ferngespräch Armeegruppe Narwa with Heeresgruppe Nord on 18 Mar 1944 (17,13 Uhr): "Armeegruppe beantragt, Oberst v. Strachwitz von seiner jetzigen Aufgabe als Kampfkommandant von Narwa zu entbinden. Vorschlag der Armeegruppe: Verwendung als Inspekteur der Panzerwaffe im Armee-Gruppen-Bereich.“
There is no indication in the KTB of the response from the Heeresgruppe to this recommendation from Armeegruppe Narwa.
