mmeyers Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 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: SCHÜRMANN, Ernst. 28.10.39 Maj., transferred from Fest.Flak-Abt. 34 to Flak-Abt. 298 and appt Kdr. 01.12.40 Obstlt., appointed Kdr. Flakscheinw.Rgt. 500 (later re-designated Flakscheinwerfer.Rgt. 4) (to 08.41). 08.41 appt Kdr. Flakscheinwerfer.Rgt. 4 (to 01.04.43) 01.04.42 promo to Oberst. 01.04.43 Kdr. Flakscheinw.Rgt. 4, trf to Ob.d.L. pool with temporary duty to RLM (GL/Flak E). 01.06.43 appt Chef 2.Abt.(Geräte)/Amtsgruppe Flakentwicklung GL in RLM. 15.11.44 Oberst, Chef der Abt. Geräte/Chef d. Techn. Luftrüstung in Gen.St.d.Lw. 01.45 Oberst, appt Kdr. Flak-Rgt. 44 (to 04.45). 02.04.45 appt Kdr. Flak-Rgt. 64 (to 04.45). Thank you my friends.

hucks216 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 There are quite a few men with that name listed in Inveno/Bundesarchiv with files but to locate any file a date of birth needs to be known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi hucks, Yep, I forgot to check that - There's three Ernst Schurmann there in PERS 6-2 for Luftwaffe, I have it narrowed down to the one born 8.5.1894, PERS 6/5376 - If this is indeed the right one. because I think the other two third born in 1914 and 1920 were battlefield promotion (Kr.O.) and I don't have any evidence my man was prior enlisted. If anyone readily has anything else on this individual, I would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
