Can anybody correct or add to the following information regarding SS-Ostubaf Wilhelm Breimaier, please?

1) Born 26/2/07
2) Ostubaf d.R. 30/1/45
3) SS NO: 11,263
4) NSDAP NO: 357,535
5) 1934 - at Dachau, but in what capacity? Was it SS-TS "Oberbayern"?
6) 1935-36 - at Lichtenburg, but in what capacity? Was it SS-TS "Elbe"?
7) 1938 & 1944 Führer III./SS-Standarte 3
8) 1942 - Frw.Legion "Flandern", but in what capacity?
9) 21/6/43 to 1944 (September?), CO II./SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regt.13
10) 9/10/44 to May 1945, CO SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regt.14 (DK in G)

According to one source, he was assigned to the SS-TS "Thüringen" at Sachsenhausen before the war. Is that correct and if so does anyone have any dates? Furthermore, another source claims that he was a regimental commander in the "Totenkopf" Division during April and May 1945. Surely this can't be true? Any information will be gratefully received.

These might be of some use.
They are photocopies from his SS file and are signed by Michael Lippert, Theodor Eicke and Ernst Heinrich Schmauser. Incidentally, the three SS officers involved in the execution of Ernst Röhm at Stadelheim Prison just over 3 months later. The last document is signed by Eicke and SS-Sturmbannführer Dr. Eugen Mohr as Staff Officer to SS-Oberabschnitts Süd. Interestingly, it is also the covering letter for promotion of Breimaier and the infamous Karl Fritzsch of Auschwitz fame.
These documents add to the details previously posted.
Max.

The SS-Personalveränderungsblatt 30.01.1945/page 7 writes his name as Breimeier.

It is likely that Wilhelm Breimaier (as CO of Sturm 4, Sturmbann "D") was in charge of firing squads that carried out the Blood Purge executions in Dachau between 30.6.-2.7.1934. Some pieces of evidence relate the command to someone named "Breimeier or Obermaier" (another candidate is SS-Stuf. Alois Obermeier).

Is there anything in Breimaier's files that could be connected to his actions during the Purge? Interestingly neither him nor Obermaier were promoted in connection to it.
