Hello , here you have a lot more :
Btw Prinz's Birth Date (23.02.1914) comes from his Lebenslauf . This date is confirmed on both the Vorschlag for his DKiG and the Vorschlag for his RK, as well as by Veit Scherzer ("Ritterkreutzträger 1939-1945").

Hardigan,

Two questions:

15.07.'42
Does this mean the Wach-Bataillon?
Hardigan wrote:07.'44- Kdr. II./SS-PzRgt.12 , SS-PzDiv."Hitlerjugend"
14.08.'44
If Prinz was not the commander right from the start (Nov 1943) then who was?

Regards,

I don't know about a Wach-Bataillon.

I only know he was in '43 in SS-PzRgt.12 , I assume he was the commander right from the start .

Wach-Bataillon was the part of LSSAH which stayed in Berlin. Wach-Bataillon changed it's number from IV to V 10 Jun 1941 and from V to VII 14 Feb 1942.

Now this is a theory where all parts would fit in nicely:
01 Jul 1941 Prinz is WIA and taken to a hospital in Germany. For salary reasons his unit is now the Wach-Bataillon in Berlin. When Prinz is released from the hospital the Wach-Bataillon becomes his actual unit. Hmmm...the weak point in this is that he was wounded again in Nov 1941.

:?

Jamie,

No wonder I'm getting mixed up with the numbering of the kompanies. I have been unsuccessfull in my search of Lehmann's volumes I & II. Thanks to you I now realise that the unit in question must be 2./Schönberger.
