Thank you!

Deubner was the korpsarzt or chief medical officer of the XV Gebirgs Korps in Croatia. The fp number is correct to that headquarters.

[Gerdan]

Deubner had his medical doctoral thesis at the Munich University 2 March 1926
dealing with operations of palate deformity.

Great information!

Is there any information about when and where he was born? died? decorations?

Is there any information about where and when his headquarters was located?

[Gerdan]

I found some additional informations on Deubner:

In the German medical review "Langenbeck's Archive of Surgery", Vol. 215, no. 3-5 (March 1929) Deubner published an article dealing with a special splint for hurt legs.

Deubner was named as author with the remark : "Stabsarzt bayr. Div. - San. Abt. 7".

In Oct 1932 he published an other article in an other German medical review
where he was mentioned with "Standortlazarett Nürnberg".

I found same additional informations on Dr. Deubner:

In the Rangdienstalterliste (age-in-grade/seniority/ army ranking list ?) 1943 I found him as Oberstarzt and Div. Arzt of the 46. Div. and zugleich (at the same time) he was Kdr. San. Abt. 56

His Rangdienstalter was 1. Jan 1938. I cannot exactly explain what Rangdienstalter is, but I think Larry may help.

Hi Gerdan,

I cannot exactly explain what Rangdienstalter is, but I think Larry may help.

It's usually called a Seniority List, so you had it right. It's also referred to sometimes unofficially as a Date-of-Rank List.

Best,

Are you sure about that as that was his exact appointment in january '39?

[Gerdan]

Simon,
as I only have a bad old photocopy of the Rangliste the exact date is bad to read but I will have a look again tomorrow. This afternoon I thought it would be January 1938.

[Gerdan]

Hi Larry,

thanks a lot for the explanation of "Seniority list". So sometimes I can learn some more (helpful) English vocabulary.

Best,
Gerdan
