Hi Wim,
Thank you very much,
I don't have any information about the officer courses that these men followed and they aren't mentioned in the SS-Verordnungs- or -Personalveränderungsblätter.

Hello Michael,

I do not know it either.

If you look at the Führerliste from John Moore (the word docs A,B,C, ...) for Dams, De Vriesere, Van der borght thats where i got the info from.
Mayby the others are also mentioned in that general list.

Karel Beeckman and Gilbert De Witte where both Leutnant in the ‘Flämische Wachabteilung’. The ‘Flämische Wachabteilung’ was a Flemish security unit in the uniform of the Wehrmacht (Heer). After the allied liberation, the unit moved to Germany and both men joined the Waffen-SS.
They where send to the SS-Art.Schule II Beneschau, to attent the 13. Kriegs-Res.-Junker-Lehrgang.

Joseph Marien grew up in Flanders, but I'm pretty sure he had the Dutch nationality.

Hi Wim,
The document says so.
If you are born in a country you automatically get the nationality of that country.
The question is if his parents had the Belgian nationality.

Hello Michael,

A Flemish born in France buried in germany fought with the Flemish Flak is now buried in France 'mort pour la patrie' as a Hero.

So they also noted the nationalty because he was born in Rotterdam. A common mistake made more than once.

Hello Michaël,

Thanks for the compliment.
The picture is taken from the following archive:
Nationaal Archief, Nederlandse Rode Kruis – Gravendienst, nummer archiefinventaris 2.19.316, inventarisnummer 1034. It involves Dutch casulaties in war time, who lost their dutch citizenship.
If you're interested, let me know.

Hi Wim,

I've asked a copy of his "persoonskaart" at CBG (Centrum voor familiegeschiedenis). It will take some weeks, but then we'll now for sure.
