503rd in Berlin April 1945

[gregoperations2]

Hello All,

I am looking for any information that anyone has on the last 2 King Tiger commanders from the 503rd that fought in Berlin. I believe the names are Georg Diers and Karl Heinz Turk. In particular, I am looking for where they were born and and information on the units in which they served.

Thanks.

I saw this thread and was struck by the name. I own a Para badge document to Karl Heinz Turk, I wonder if this is the same person as it's an uncommon name. Was this guy a para who went to panzers?

I m not sure. I do know that Diers was Waffen SS.
