IR 134 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Hello @ all. I´m searching info´s about the further career of the above saxon officer. [not to be confused with Konrad Sinz (maybe brother?) born 14.2.91, killed in Russia 1941 as Oberst and Pionierführer LI. AK] He´s born 27.2.1893, active officer in IR 134, St. Henry 21.7.1915. After War he joined the police. As a Major of the Landespolizei transferred in October 1935 to I./IR 53 in Weißenfels. 1939 Oberstleutnant and commander of the batallion. As far as I know he survived the war. As he was a Oberstleutnant in 1939 it seems possible that he later became a general, but I have no info about that. Many thanks for help.

IR 134 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi Stefan, Here is an interresting link for you http://forum.axishis...20220&start=105 I have not find him as General during WW2. Regards Christophe Hi Christophe. I suppose you mean this entry: Oberstleutnant Sinz - commander of Pi.Btl.24 - 04.09.1939 - Warta at the river Warta That´s not Richard. I believe that´s the above mentioned Konrad (who was a pioneer) but he definately fell 1941. I take a look at the Volksbund-database and there is also no Sinz listed fallen in 1939. So the entry in AHF seems to be a mistake. Gruß Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR 134 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ok, found out, that the later Ritterkreuz and Eichenlaubträger Hermann Flörke became commander I./IR 53 in March 1939. Possible that Richard Sinz then left the army, but not sure. Sinz survived the war and died 10.02.1964 in Göppingen Baden-Württemberg.

June 40 Oberst, and commanded as from 10.39 the Masch.Gewehr-Rgt.148, then from 2.40 maybe the Inf.Rgt.621 too, finally from 10.40 until ?.41 the Inf.Rgt.452.
