Although he is noted as just Erdmann, his personnel file has his as Erdmann-Degenhardt taking his mothers maiden-name, serving in WW1 (Need some help with his WW1 units)
And in the 1920s with the Landspolizei Konigsberg
In 1944 he went into the Fuhrer Reserve but (and this needs to be confirmed) he took command from February 1945 to April 1945 Volks-Grenadier –Regiment 1143 (noted as Kampfgruppe Erdmann-Degenhardt and Volks-Grenadier –Regiment Erdmann-Degenhardt) Volks-Grenadier –Division 561 destroyed at Konigsberg
