SS Officer - D. Johannsen?

[Johnny R]

Hi, can someone with the SS Rangliste please look to see if there is a match for a D. Johannsen.

Thank you

There are 7 with that surname on the Führerlsite but none with the Initial D. They are Hans, Heinrich, Helmut, Hermann, Max-Werner, Olaf & Peter - although Helmut & Peter held the title of Dr so maybe that is where your D comes from?

Hi Thanks, I think it is just a D. as far as I can tell. There were no heer matches on the 1939 list and it looks like there was a CT and arm eagle. That could of course be post war done. Maybe also a reserve officer, Coastal Artillery would have anchor buttuns I believe. I will have to dig deeper.

Only one match at NARA:

Johannsen, Detlef dob 20.8.1913 RuSHA file only.

I think it actually may indeed be- Dr. The tailor label is Hamburg and it is dated October 1938. That may narrow it down.
