Stijn David Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Hello, I am in search of data (careerd dates, full names, etc...) of the following officers; * Oberstleutnant Lederer (Commander of the Stab Lederer => Active in Tunesia during November 1942) * Oberst Stolz (Commander of the Kampfgruppe Stolz => the follower of the Stab Lederer) I presume that both officers are Heer, but besides their name i do not know much about them. Al Help is welcome and greatly appreciated. Cordial greetings and thanks
Naxos Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I found this: Oberst Hans-Wolfgang LEDERER born on Dec. 6, 1894 - died on July 7, 1985 Jan. 1, 1937 promoted to the rank of Major (In 1937 he took command of Pz.Abw.Abtl.6 - don't know his later assignments) promoted to Oberst on March 1, 1942
Odulf Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Perhaps this may be of help: Lederer: promoted Oberst (01-03-1942), in 1944 Kdr. Pz.Jäg.Abt. 6 (6. Inf.Div.); in 1939 as Major Kdr. Pz.Jäg.Abt. 6 Harald Stolz: promoted Oberst (01-05-1943), in 1944 on the Staff of 13. Pz.Gren.Div. As Obstlt and Kdr. Kradsch.Btl. 43 he was awarded RK (28-08-42)
Stijn David Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Hello, Thank you to both of you. I wil now have to check their Personalakte to check if these are the officers i am after. As the name of "Stolz' is rather common. I'll keep you updated and additional info is always welcome. Cordial greetings
Rossano Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Hello, Lederer was 39/40 (not 44 !) Kdr. PJA.6 as Major., 11.42 he was Kdt. of Bizerta (Tunisia) as Oberst, 4/5.43 he commanded PR.29 as Oberst. The other officer is "Ludwig" Stolz. Bye, Rossano
