Kavallerie-Ersatz-Abteilung 17 Staff officers

[Johnny R]

Does anyone have the names of the staff officers in KEA 17 when the unit was formed in 1939 and beyond. I have looked at Lexicon and Tessin and the Bamberg Reiter book by Krageneck. The is one commander listed on lexicon he does not match. Thanks

Already checked that John.

The Commmanders......

1939 - 10.1.40 Hptm. Rübsam
10.1.40 - 15.8.40 Hptm. Körner
15.8.40 - 1.3.41 Major Frhr.v.u. zu Aufseß
1.3.41 - 20.2.43 Major d.R. Schmidt
20.2.43 - 15.6.44 Major d.R. Wilhelm v. Mallinckrodt
15.6.44 - End Rittm. August Schlund

None with the name we are looking for!

Are you sure on the rank for Rubsam? He was a Oberst with a DOR of 1.7.41. His XO might be the guy we are looking for.

[Ian Jewison]

I believe the ranks are what they held when appointed CO of the unit. I do not have my other references to hand at the moment..........

How can I sleep when we are talking about an Ersatz Kav battalion, this is up there with watching paint dry Ian. Thanks for the reference. I have almost a complete set of Tessin, now I "need" those as well.
