It informs an ss-man that a special admistration (where he might have sent a ltter to before) has moved to a new place. So in the future all kind of requests for any payment-supports, like pension, for emergency, etc. has from now on to be claimed to the new adress.

Thank you

It think I understand all this now -


I recently picked up this group of documents, letter, and newspaper clippings about Schuldt and Langemarck that belonged to SS Mann Frederich Siemann.

It includes the letter from SS Obersturmbannführer Hinrich Schuldt and copies on a thick stock paper of the document authorizing by Hitler the creation of Langemarck and what I will call the letter of confirmation by Himmler. They were sent in a thick stock Black SS Folder.

Was this kind of thing sent out in quantity or did Siemann have some kind of special relationship with Schuldt?

SS-Infanterie Reg. 4 was nearly wiped out in defensive fighting west of Moscow in early 1942. In the summer of 1941 it had over 3000 men, by the time it left the frontlines, only 400 men remained. The regiment was considered to have made a decisive contribution to containing the Soviet winter offensive, and its sacrifice was recognized in various ways.

Commander Hinrich Schuldt (nicknamed "Kaptn. Schuldt" due to his Kaiser-era background as a naval officer) received the Knight's Cross. The regiment was given the honor title "Langemarck" as a reference to the town of that name in Flanders where German students fought a sacrificial battle in 1914. Himmler decreed, as shown in the documents, that Flemish volunteers would serve alongside Germans in the rebuilt regiment.

As a survivor of the original regiment, who was still fit for service, Siemann was one of a relatively select few. Apparently, Schuldt wrote letters to his surviving men, telling them they were part of something special, both in surviving the battles of 1942 and now in being part of the successor unit.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the background of this - it makes it, if I can say it "come alive" - real people- real suffering
