SS- Sturmbannfuehrer Rudi Ihrig

[erichcraciun]

Hello,

Does anyone have any information regarding a SS Stubaf. Rudi Ihrig. According to an Fp. letter that I have he was with 'O.K.W./Chef WKW/B.d.F.' in 1945. Later according to his own letter, he was serving with a regiment in Schneidemühle.

Any information would be appreciated.


Besten Dank

Erich

Hi Erich,

What does his FP letter say about Schneidemühle??? That is the village my father is from. My father was last there in Nov of '44 after leave from Italy. The Russians overran the area in Feb of '45 and my father's father was killed by the Russians.

Regards,

Willi

Hallo FJKomet,

The only thing the letter says is that he is now with a regiment in Schneidemuehle. Nothing more. I would like to find out what SS ( I presume) regiment was stationed there at that time.

(I take it I am writing a reply to Willi Zahn?)

Besten Dank,

Erich Craciun

No photos in the Seniority Lists, just one line entries with their numbers etc and dates.

if my memory serves me correctly Scheidemühl was turned into a stronghold (Festung or Fortress) like Breslau and saw heavy combats in February 1945. Several KC recipients are listed being part of Festung Schneidemühl such as
Owm. Arhtur Iden (KC 10/02/45)
Oblt. Kurt Bentin (KC 12/02/45)
Gefr. Eugen Ueltzhöfer (KC 12/02/45)
Hptm. Hermann Bauer (KC 14/02/45)
Obst. Heinrich Remlinger (KC 30/01/1945) as Kdt. d. Festung
