Greetings all and glad to be onboard.
I am looking for records information, including possibly an official photograph/portrait for a Oberst Ernst Schürmann, whom I came across a reference of when reviewing a record of gun test firing activities in Oksboel (firing range in Denmark) that he was involved in on December 11th through December 18th, 1943. I have very little else on him other than he was representing GL/Flak-E 2 at the time. Have already solicited help from Mr. Stankey from the amazing LwOCS/Personnel Records of the Luftwaffe site but was not successful. Anyone have access to additional information or perhaps a photograph?
Data from LwOCS website:
