    SS Panzer Nachrichten Abteilung 12 , 12 SS Div. HJ

    Hello,

    Recently I bought a Soldbuch of the 12 SS. Division Hitlerjugend, he fought with it in Normandy and the Ardennes. I am not very into the SS because they arrived after D-Day but for this division I would make an exception. I am searching information about his unit. After a couple of SS units he was send to the 12. SS Division Hitlerjugend; 2./ SS Nachrichten Abteilung 12. I am searching more information about this unit in Normandy, I can't find many information.

    I am also searching to the owner of the Soldbuch; SS-Hauptscharführer(kind of a platoon/squad leader I thought) Werner Renz. Can he be traced in the records/databases of the 12 SS. Division Hitlerjugend? He was born on 28.09.1913 in Hemsbach and married. He received 4 medals/orden. He was in the army(?) in 1938 as a normal Polizei man(Einmarsch Austria and Sudetenland), later he was send to the 4. SS Division Polizei(1940 - 1942) and after that he was send to the "Der Befehlshaber der Waffen SS in den Niederlanden" in Apeldoorn(1942 - 1944). Thereafter he was send to his last unit in the 12. SS division Hitlerjugend(1944 - 1945). Last entries are from 1945 so he must be in the unit in that time.

    With all information of the unit in Normandy and information about SS-Hauptscharführer Werner Renz would be appreciated!

    After research the Soldbuch will be shown on the forum. Thanks for the efforts and Best Regards,

    Aram

      There are quite a few good books on the Hitlerjugend Division on the market that should be of help for you. Try....
      Blood And Honor by Craig W H Luther
      The 12th SS Vol 1 & 2 by Hubert Meyer (published by Stackpole so can be found at reasonable prices).
