Grenadier-Regiment 388: Btl-Kdr's Removed 1943?

[hucks216]

Hello all,
According to Lexikon, after a battle in September 1943 two Battalion Commanders of Grenadier-Regiment 388 were removed by Ferdinand Schörner for poor leadership/failure.
Would anyone happen to know the names of those two officers please?

Well, in Sept.43 Hptm. Blazejezak was führer of the I Btl throughout that month for certain. He was replaced in the middle of october with a Hptm.Mägele

I have a Hptm.Vesper for the II Btl and Hptm.Niemann for the III Btl.

Many thanks for the pointer Simon. It is Blazejezak that I am trying to confirm as being one of the relieved officers or if he took over from one of those relieved of command, or if it was II & III Btl's that were involved and the timing of his promotion to Btl-Kdr was just coincidental.
His Wehrpass has him down as Btl-Fhr from March to July 1943 and then Btl-Kdr from August 1943 to September 1944, with promotion to Major in December 1943 so maybe if he was relieved of command it was glossed over in his WP?

I was looking through some of the daily reports from subordinate units sent up to XIX Geb.Korps.

As we're talking transcribed messages his name gets misspelled a lot and from day to day through sept.43 he's reffered to as both führer and kommandeur, but without a doubt Mägele had taken over by mid.Oct. but only as temporary Btl. führer. I see he returned to his btl. in Dec. but i lose track from the 4th Dec. as the III btl. replaced the I in the line.

Thanks for the reply Simon and the amplifying information. I apologise for the delayed reply.
Just to add a little tid-bit - according to Blazejezak's Wehrpass (and his Militärische Laufbahn sheet of paper) it lists him as stellv.Regiment-Führer for the period 7th-21st March and 15th May-2nd June 1943 before he went into Führer Reserve/Gren.Brigade 388.
