sacharbeiter help

[leib1]

can some one tell me what staff post this would be as in sacharbeiter for the divisional ia. thanks for any help

[Adrian Stevenson]

The "1A" was Chief of Operations within the Division. I think your man was an assistant to the 1a, but not O1 or O3. I roughly translate his position as "Special worker?". I am sure some of the other members will be able to give you more info. But in the meantime I hope this helps?

Cheers, Ade.

Hello:
the German Military Dictionary gives the following translation/explanation for the term "Sachbearbeiter" which amplifies what Adrian offered above:
- technical staff officer;
- individual in charge of a special administrative department or field of subject matter.
