Laurence Strong Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Finally the chokehold that has been held by a select few is coming to an end. I have been succesful in aquiring a PDF copy of the 1939 Rangelist der Wehrmachtbeamte Heer. Once I get the complete document I will be looking at transfering it to a disk and am more than willing to give copies to those who wish it. Larry Edited January 25, 2013 by Laurence Strong
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 very nice, :-) Ask Nick, I think you can download it here and people can get it directly in the computer? Best Chris
Laurence Strong Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Hello Chris Good idea, I will look into it when I get the complete document. It is coming to me in instalments. Larry
Laurence Strong Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Hello Paul There are approx 600 pages to the book it's self. Larry
Paul R Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Scanning it will be quite the undertaking. What information, other than name and ranks, are provided in this book?
Laurence Strong Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Hello Paul It came to me as 24 PDF instalments, there are 616 pages in total. Here is a sample page. Larry
turtle Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Great idea! This volume could help me to further research my great granduncle.
Laurence Strong Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Hello I will be getting ahold of Nick in 2 or 3 weeks as I am headed up to northern BC for a coup[le weeks working. What was your great granduncles name etc? Larry

PM sent Larry Where you able to locate him? Hello turtle I have to appologize, I have not looked yet. Work was a case of working and sleeping, got home last night and am off on a job tonight. I hope to have the next couple days off and will make it a priority. I also have recieved the 1938 list and will look in it.
Laurence Strong Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Hello turtleI now have the 1938 list and I am looking, it's not in alphabetical order so it is taking some time.On a different note....when it rains,it pours. I just ordered the 43 - 45 lists from NARA Larry
turtle Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hello turtle I now have the 1938 list and I am looking, it's not in alphabetical order so it is taking some time. On a different note....when it rains,it pours. I just ordered the 43 - 45 lists from NARA Larry Thanks! I´m not sure if he is listed in the 1938 list, because he only made Zahlmeister der Reserve in late 1938. It would be great if you could then look him up in the 43-45 lists. I could provide you with some of his units during WWII, if this would help!? Edited February 13, 2013 by turtle
Glenn J Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Hi Turtle, from the 1939 list. Regards Glenn
Laurence Strong Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) You beat me to it. Right on.@turtleAs you surmised he was not in the '38 list. It is going to take 30 -60 days according to NARA for me to get the disc on the other lists. will let you know what I find.What is d.L.?Larry Edited February 14, 2013 by Laurence Strong
turtle Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 @ Glenn J Many thanks to you!!!! @ Laurence Strong d.L. means "der Landwehr" This was a category of the reserve: Men over the age of 35 and under 45 and with military service.
turtle Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 @turtle As you surmised he was not in the '38 list. It is going to take 30 -60 days according to NARA for me to get the disc on the other lists. will let you know what I find. Larry Were you able to acquire the lists from NARA?
Ulsterman Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 May I still get copies of 38, 39 and 44/45?
Laurence Strong Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 Were you able to acquire the lists from NARA? HelloYes I did. IIRC there was no mention. It is only a few pages long and mostly hand written. I will look againLarry May I still get copies of 38, 39 and 44/45?HiI tried sending them to you but was having issues with your email addy. Thought I sent you an email with a request to confirm your address, however I can't find it.Larry
Freiwillige Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Dear gentlemen, is it possible to acquire rang lists by having them sent to an e-mail?
