    Outstanding SS Polizei grouping with signatures of famous KC and GCiG winners

    Today I'd like to show a very nice 5-citation-grouping of an SS Uscha who from from the beginning to the end of the war with "4. SS-Polizei-Panzergrenadier-Division".

    These documents have never been in collectors hand before and there is a chance of unearthing more papers.

    The documents were signed by such famous Knights Cross and German Cross in Gold winners like Walter Krüger, Fritz Freitag, Helmut Dörner and Walter Harzer.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to find out who was the SS Hauptsturmführer who signed the Eastern Medal document. Perhaps someone can help.

    Regards

                  Could that be Huper? There is definitely a "u" as designated by the "–" above; and the next letter is either a "g" or "p"; followed by a probable "er" ... I didn't get any Google hits using a "g".

                  I searched and found an entry on another blog

                  Huper, Jürgen 1.11.20 Ustuf. Pz.Brig. Gross

                  "Gross" was constituted in late 1944..... perhaps the Ustuf got promoted quickly? Naaahhhhhh.

                    Hard nut to crack. And I'm no help at all as I still can't read Sütterlin handwriting after years of collecting.

                    Another thing: I couldn't find anything detailed regarding the "Distomo massacre" in Greece on June 10, 1944 which was commited by soldiers of 4. SS-Polizei-Panzergrenadier-Division.
                    Does someone know what regiments of 4.SS Pol.Pz.Gren.Div. were involved in this?

                    Regards

                      With regards to the Eastern Front Medal citation the Führerliste has a Gerhard Hillger as the Stabskompanie Chef with that rank for SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt 8 in October 1944 so it could well be him as I can see that name in the signature. He went on to command II/SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt 7.

                        Great job, Hucks. Thank you very much. Now knowing what it reads it's pretty easy to identify the letters.
                        Mystery solved!

                        I also found him on the Internet:

                        SS Hauptsturmführer Gerhard Hillger, born 15.06.1905, SS # 455138

                        Regards
