Hi Glenn,
many thanks for this info. Do you when Wächter died?
Josef von Wächter was promoted to Generalmajor on 31.05.1922.
He was the father of the later SS-Gruppenführer Otto Gustav Wächter. His bio will be in the volume 3 of "Die Generale der Waffen-SS und der Polizei" by Dr. Dieter Zinke and myself.
(Bei den Angaben zu seinem Vater werden wir Dich als Quelle angeben)
Happy new year
