Personalfragebogen
These documents are from the personnel induction establishment of this SSVT regiment. There is a multi-volume history of Das Reich, in which the personnel of SSVT "Deutschland" is well described. You can also buy the copy of the 1936 rank list, which will give you an idea as well. I do not know if the 1937 list has been reprinted, but the '38-'39 has been, and you could look there, too. Each German infantry regiment, of which SSVT 1 was so patterened (more or less in 1936), had its decentralized, organic induction and training base, and this group of administrative personnel officers would have also been connected with a medical detachment as well, I guess, the racial fairies type all to provide young recruits for the unit in question. The paper work at hand is this young man's questionnaire of his background, racial particular, medical information, as well as the various wickets of other service (viz: Reichsarbeitsdienst) said formular would go through. As you know, such young men had to make their way through the HJ, the RAD, and then this SSVT service counted as fulfillment of obligation to military service.Originally posted by kurskss
This is an interesting set of documents, and it should not be difficult to determine the names of the officers in question, as this unit would likely not have had anywhere near the # of officers in its command group or administrative cadres as say a brigade of the present day US Army or US Marine Corps, or even of the Bundeswehr. The officer to enlisted ratio in the Reichswehr and the armed SS was quite small. The officer corps of the SS at arms in 1936 was also very small, to boot. Sapere aude. -
very interesting comments on the background of this org. Donald,thank you.With some help from Phil Nix,i have discovered that in 1938 only four men held the rank of Sturmbannfuhrer in ss-vt deutschland,they were
1)Rudlieb Gorcke
2)Ernst Worner
3)Heinrich Ehrlich
4)Karl Praesche
that being said,in Sutterlin script which of these men comes closest to the signature. my guess would be no.1.However,does not the first letter seem to be an "h"?
also,where is it possible to buy the dal for the various years?Comment
