Does anybody know anything about a man called Oskar Dirlewanger? He commanded a brigade of ex-convicts but don't know much more about him.

Hi Stevie,

Welcome to these forums! Hope you'll enjoy yourself here.

As to Dirlewanger, I suggest that you go to the "search" page (see above) and type in Dirlewanger. You will find a number of threads where the man and his exploits are being discussed. Feel free to *Bump* a thread if you think it is relevant or if you wish to ask another Q after reading these.

HTH

Was actualy wanting to know what happened to him. Found out on the web thou. Read a book called Barbarossa by Alan Clark and as the book was written in 1965 it said his wherabouts were unknown. Since found out he was 'killed' by the poles at the end of the war. Thanks anyway thou.

Not a problem and glad you found out.

As u can see this man facinates me. Wounded more than 12 times and leading his man personaly into combat with his rank. The man will probabley be a sick MF, but bravery is written all over him.
