[danesky]

I am looking for info about SS-Standartenführer Paul Nostitz (Totenkopf-Standarte 2 "Brandenburg")
I am from Wloclawek/Poland (Leslau, Reg. Hohensalza/Wartheland)

One of local quasi-historian affirms, that several years ago it talked to Nostitz. I think , that he lies. So, I would like to ask you about help and possible application of source of your information .
It depends on info of date of birth and death, short course of career etc.
I ask during capability about message from book scan or document, you will find it in which.

greets, Luk

PS. Sorry for my english;/

I have been collecting information concerning Paul Nostitz's war time assingments. The best material which I've been able to find so far is his brief bio by Phil in this thread. However, I believe that even Phil has missed some of his assingments. Here is a short summary of "the current state of things":

01 Jul 1937 - 15 Nov 1938 SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 3 "Thüringen"
- Phil's dates. Lexikon der Wehrmacht (LDW) gives 01 Jul 1937 - Oct 1939 but Oct 1939 seems unlikely.

15 Nov 1938 - 02 Nov 1939 SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 2 "Brandenburg"
- Phil's dates. Balsi gives almost the same (15 Nov 1938 - 08 Nov 1939) but I think that he mixed the end date with the end date of Nostitz's assignment in T.I.R. 2. Axis Biographical Research (ABR) gives 11 Nov 1939 - (28 Jul 1940). Not true (?)

06 Oct 1939 - 08 Nov 1939 SS-Totenkopf-Infanterie-Regiment 2
- This one Phil is missing. This is a logical assingment because a lot of "Brandenburger" went to T.I.R. 2. From 06 Oct 1939 to 16 Oct 1939 must have been Aufstellungsstab time. I found the dates from http://www.waffen-ss-combattants.fr. LDW has only the end date (08 Nov 1939), Frontkjemper only one date (1939) and Juanjo/John Moore above gives the starting date as Sep 1939.

Nov 1939 - 1940 SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 9
- This one is a problem. Phil's dates are 01 Nov 1939 - 15 Nov 1940. LDW gives 11 Nov 1939 - 28 Jun 1940, ABR only one date (05 May 1940) and Juanjo/John Moore also only one date (May 1940).

SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 5
- No one else mentiones this assingment. Could this be a mistake as he was already the CO of SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 9 and LDW states that Breithaupt was the CO 01 Dec 1939 - 28 Jul 1940?

12 Sep 1940 - 20 Sep 1940 SS-Infanterie-Regiment 5
- Phil's dates. Frontkjemper has the same dates.

20 Oct 1940 - 18 Aug 1941 SS-Truppenübungsplatz Debica
- Phil's dates. I have a theory that he was a CO in name only at least since July 1941.

1941 Nachschubtruppen 6
- This one Phil is missing. Juanjo/John Moore gives only one date (July 1941). Frontkjemper mentiones 1941.

18 Aug 1941 - 06 Apr 1943 SS-Truppenübungsplatz Debica
- Phil's dates. Führer. CO between 30 Jan 1942 and 20 Mar 1942.

06 Apr 1943 - 22 Oct 1944 SS-Panzergrenadier-Ersatz-Bataillon 1
- Phil's dates.

22 Oct 1944 - 1945 SS-Panzergrenadier-AuE-Bataillon 1
- Phil's dates.

Can someone add, correct or delete the info.

Regards,

Pena V

For some reason Nostitz appears to have been "lightly" interrogated at No. 1 Civilian Internment Camp, Neumünster (British Zone) in 1946. I say "lightly" because everything was handwritten on one page. I would have posted the page but it is very faint - source UK National Archives, AIR 40/2269 (part of the RAF investigation into the murder of RAF officers who escaped from Stalag Luft III (Sagan) in 1944).

March 1943-March 1944, "sick" in Berlin
March 1944-20 Jan 1945, "sick" in Posen

I put "sick" this way because that is what it appears to say
