Re: RAD Generals
GeneralAbf Hickl was commissioned to lead the Arbeitsgau XXXVIII - Böhmen und Mähren, he returned to his own AG XXXIV / Linz at beginning of April 1945, after Hierl decided OberstAbf. Freiherr v. Schnurbein to lead the AG XXXVIII in Prague.

Could it be either Generalarbeitsführer Alexander Commichau or Oberstarbeitsführer Adolf Deppe?
So the sequence was Commichau - ? - Leitner - Hickl - v.Schnurbein.

Re: RAD Generals
Perhaps Oberstarbeitsführer Röhrig, the then acting Arbeitsgauführer, could be the gap between Commichau and Leitner.SANDB wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 15:40GeneralAbf Hickl was commissioned to lead the Arbeitsgau XXXVIII - Böhmen und Mähren, he returned to his own AG XXXIV / Linz at beginning of April 1945, after Hierl decided OberstAbf.

Re: RAD Generals
It was RAD-Oberstarbeitsführer Bernhard Freiherr von Schnurbein, who held the post of Hierl's liason officer to Rudolf Hess.SANDB wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 15:40GeneralAbf Hickl was commissioned to lead the Arbeitsgau XXXVIII - Böhmen und Mähren, he returned to his own AG XXXIV / Linz at beginning of April 1945, after Hierl decided OberstAbf.

Re: RAD Generals
Thanks, did any other Arbeitsgaue have a Oberstarbeitsführer as Arbeitsgauführer by 1945?

Re: RAD Generals
@1 I see RAD-Generalarbeitsführer Eduard Helff and... I can't make it, I guess, it's either Führer der RAD-Arbeitsgruppe 270 (RAD-Oberarbeitsführer Georg Groß) or Führer der RAD-Arbeitsgruppe 271 (RAD-Arbeitsführer Erwin Golditz).

Re: RAD Generals
Thanks alot Igor! I think it could be Groß, because of the Silver Wound Badge. On this picture, he looks a bit different, though.

Re: RAD Generals
I am skeptical the identification is correct based on the awards, although Gross does have the Eiserns Kruez and the Verwundetenabzeichen, the person seen with GAF Helff has the same awards but also with the EK 2 ribbon, and he doesn't look like Gross.

Re: RAD Generals
I agree with Gwar, also, This fellow also has a short stocky build where as Gross seems more tall and slender. I know the Roman Numerals were Gau Numbers, but did the Large Number signify Abteilung or Gruppe? I’m guessing the Small Numbers underneath the large ones were meant to be Sturm Numbers?
