Very interesting documents, from the time when he was CO of Heeresgruppe Weichsel.

[Dieter Zinke]

"Kämpfe im Westen" speaks more for his capacity as "Chef HRüst und ObdE" than as OB of HGr Weichsel

SS units in Balkans were also mentioned...

Gentlemen,
I knew that Himmler was interested and informed about the successes of German snipers and soldiers who destroyed at least six enemy panzers each with their panzerfausts. Well Obergefreiter Sielemann who destroyed six Sherman tanks by Panzerfaust was that one example. I found out it was Kurt Sielemann who was a Knight's Cross holder as an Unteroffizier. Information came from Wikipedia.

Sincerely,

Gentlemen,
Interesting to study about the deeds of the German soldiers that were recognized by Heinrich Himmler.

Gentlemen,
Himmler had certainly took interest in knowing the deeds of known ground soldiers from the Heer and Waffen-SS. I think Himmler also took note of the bravery of the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine ground soldiers too for which I wish the information about their deeds were available.
