Hey guys,
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in my research of the Kommandeur of Kreigsgefangenen Bau-und-Arbeits Bataillon VI (6), located in Koeln-Wahn, Wehrkreis VI, as of Nov 1940. The Bataillon was a Landschuetzen unit, formed from Landwehr/Reserve officers, which has made the research difficult. The POWs were French. I am just looking for the commander's name at this point, from which I can do further research.
I have done extensive research in the US Archives, German Military Archives (in Freiburg), and with the WASt. Surprisingly, there do not seem to be any records reflecting the names of the commanders of those types of units. I believe that information must exist somewhere!! (Perhaps the French investigated the commanders of French POW units after the war ended? Has anyone ever looked into those kind of records?)
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bob
