Ia of the 2. Panzer- Armee

[christof]

Is somebody got the liste of all the Ia of the 2. Panzer- Armee ?

[Ian Jewison]

That position should be mentioned in:

Band 1: Die Dienststellen, Kommandobehörden und Truppenteile des Heeres 15.10.1935-8.5.1945. Nr. 1-10. XIII, 394 Seiten. Osnabrück 1998.

However I am not at home to currently check it...............if no one replied by Tuesday I can take a look.

Hello Christof;
Based on Kurt Mehner's book " Die Deutsche Wehrmacht 1939-1945" the following is his listing of 2.Pz.Armee's (PzAOK2) Ia ( First General Staff Officers, not the Chief of Staff):
-5.Oct.1941 t0 7.Dec.1941 Obstlt. Fritz Bayerlein;
-7.Dec.1941- Aug.1942 Obstlt. Werner Wolff;
-Aug.1942-10.Jul.1943 Obstlt. Wolf v. Kahlden;
-10.Jul.1943-25.Oct.1944 Obst. Ulrich Freiherr v. Varnbuehler v.u.z. .Hemmingen;
-25.Oct.1944-May 1945 Obstlt. Horst Ogelvie.
Publications by K.Mehner published byPatzwall in my opinion are not totally reliable mainly due to poor editing so Ians source may be more reliable.

About Obstlt. Ogelvie (25.Oct.1944), I think that it is Ogilvie and not Ogelvie.

Yes that is correct.....a typo on Bernhard's behalf

Incidentally, Andre Hüsken has his Soldbuch for sale!
