Name the future Sr. Waffen SS officer who, was also a member of a Freikorps unit(s) after ww1 AND give me the name of his Freikorps unit ~~~AND~~~ give me his correct rank in the correct branch of service and the date he was that rank. The rank I am looking for is: The Rank of CAPTAIN. I need to have the correct name for that rank--depending on whether he at that rank--was in the W-SS, or the Army, or the Luftwaffe or the Marine. He could have been at the rank of Captain, in one of those other branches of service--but not necessarily not--he could have also just achieved that rank in the Waffen SS as well.

In short:

I need the mans full name as listed in the bios, I need the name of the Freikorps unit he served in--(no date necessary), I need the Branch of service he was in when he reached the rank equivilent to the rank of Captain, and the date he reached that rank.

An example:

Johann Jakob Jingle Heimer-Schmidt, Freikorps von Lutzow, Heer Hauptmann as of May 11/ 1936.

I TOLD you this wasnt going to be easy--but perhaps it REALLY is--because of the bios I have listed so far--there are ONLY 7 men who reach the criteria im asking for. Only one will entirely match that which I seek.

PS: THE only way you will find out the correct answer is by this clue:

Look for the man who served in 5th Kompanie, 2nd Battaillon, Artillerie Regiment Nr.3 from August to October 1934.

Get this and the DVD movie is yours. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Friedrich got it--sorry PzJgr. Fried was awaiting in ambush and I think I gave too many details.

One thing though--it Forced one to do some serious scanning of most of the Waffen SS Officers listed.

Ill try to afford having another Quiz soon--possible a book or something.

Fried--send me your snail-mail address by PM or regular email and ill get it out to you. [img]smile.gif[/img]

PzJgr--if it was any consolation--Puckler-Burghaus was my first choice. I didnt pick him because I wanted this to be challenging but not impossible to find an answer.

Thanks Carl. I was so excited I forgot about the hint. But nevertheless, Friedrich still would have beaten me to the punch.
