Dear Sirs,
I m trying my best to research Division, units, the military history of my grandfather
Heinz Scheffler, born 14.10.1909 in Pirmasens and missed since 08.01.45 in Mittelabschnitt (Russia). Feldpost Nr.: 15860 & 26752B.
My Feldpost no. research via www.stampsx.com found only Feldpost no. 15860 indicating 3. Kompanie Radfahr-Sicherungs-Batillon 75 - but without linking the Feldpost no. in question to Heinz Scheffler - for the 2nd Feldpost no. nothing could be found. Via "Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgäberfürsorge" I found out that he lies on the recently in 2012 inaugurated soldier cimetery Duchowschtina (Mittelabschnitt Russia). Research via the "Bundesarchiv Berlin" including BDC (Berlin document Center) and the "NS-Archiv Ministerium f. Staatssicherheit DDR" turned out negativ. Newly I arranged a search via "Deutsche Dienststelle Berlin/ Wast" (dd-wast.de) but it will take them up to 8-10 months to answer and their documentation is mostly Wehrmacht related, only a very few SS-archives seem to be available. They stated that most of the SS-related docu has been carried away by the allies and never turned back. The only available uniformed pic of Heinz Scheffler shows a Allgemeine SS-uniform and the rank of Obersturmführer. His wife, my grandmother destroyed at the end of the war all other docus. From the 3 available Feldpost letters ex-Poland and Russia I can more or less guess his way through the Mittelabschnitt, where basicly the SS-divisions "Das Reich" & "Totenkopf" seemed to be active.
If any of you could help me here and recopile his data, of course also against payment, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
