Hello Heiko.

The Ehren-Rangliste des ehemaligen Deutschen Heeres lists Hptm. v.d.Groeben as having survived the war. He was last the commander of LIR 383 and is reported as Major a.D.

The Rangliste des Deutschen Heeres 1944/45 does not list any likely officer.

Was his stuff recently up for sale?

I ended up with a bunch of extremely good prewar photos of the 7th Jäger, bought over ebay.

Not that I know of. I just found some information while researching the families "von der Groeben" and "Graf von der Groeben".
