Hi,
I am currently working on the history of the 9th (Pionier) Kompanie/SS-Panzer Regiment 1 'LAH'. This unit was also called the 14th Kompanie from 15.05.1943 until 01.07.1944. The unit was formed in late 1942 by the transferring of the 3rd Kompanie of the Pionier Bataillon to the Leibstandarte Panzer Regiment.
I have a list of the 15 officers who served with the unit and found photos of 12 of them, three remain, one of whom is:
Walter Böhm, 11.06.1921, SS-Untersturmfuehrer, (30.01.1944)
He joined the 14th Kompanie around 11.1943. He served with the Kompanie until around 10.1944. In January 1945 he went to the 8th SS Pionier Bataillon, 8th SS Kav Div "Florian Geyer". This Bataillon was later added to the 37th SS Prw Kav Div, and he was with this unit in April 1945.
If anyone has a photo of this man, I would very much appreciate a copy of it for my project.
Please feel free to contact me at stoveb@hotmail.com
Thanks very much.
Steve
