Nice portrait photo in the Soldbuch showing him with a visor cap in wear which as you may know was strictly against regulations!

Can't find anything on him...not in the rank lists as he is a z.V. officer.

The only thing I can find is in Google and not even sure if its the same guy:

Wilhelm Czermak (Heraldiker) (1887–1960), Dr. phil., Direktor, Oberst.

From the Soldbuch I can see he is a Dr. and also a Direktor of something but can not make it out.

Some months before the invasion in Normandy, he was on the Cotentin peninsula with the Heereskusten artillerie regiment 1262;

1./1262 – Auderville La Roche – Battery “Stahl” – 6 x 15,5 cm
2./1262 – Biville (Petit Thot) – 4 x 10,5 cm
3./1262 – Auderville Laye – 2 x 20,3 cm on railways
4./1262 – Flamanville – 4 x 17 cm
5./1262 – Carteret – 4 x 12,2 cm
6./1262 – Near Siouville – 4 x 10,5 cm
7./1262 – Houel – 4 x 10, 5 cm
8./1262 – Pointe du Rozel – 4 x 10,5 cm or 4 x 8,8

Sadly he left Normandy in April 1944 and was send to Southern France.

Little search on internet shows that Wilhelm Czermak was married with Lisbeth Okon(born 1888), he had a daughter Susanne Czermak(born 6 February 1910). No date when he died.

Um, I'll bet he wasn't very sad about it....probably/possibly saved his life.

Great set though.

Nothing to worry about in southern France! It's not like anyone would invade the place.........and his wife safely back home in Berlin-Lichterfelde. It would be interesting to see the list on p. 30 in his Wehrpass clearly.

Not for him, but for me as a D-Day collector it is a pity.

However nice grouping!
