KC holders Wimmer

LEIBSTANDARTE · Post by **LEIBSTANDARTE** » Sun Nov 14, 2004 5:21 pm

I have posted this before but in the wrong place I think.
Does any one have any information on the following KC holders.

Hauptmann Johann Wimmer
KC awarded 28/01/45
Fallschrimpanzer Corps HG

Oberleutnant Alfred Wimmer (heer)
KC awarded 16/01/45
111 Grenadier Reg Oberrhein.

Oberfeldwebel Friedrich Wimmer (heer)
KC awarded 30/09/44
8th Grenadier 412 277 Infanterie Division.

If there is anything at all that you can tell me about these men it would be greatly appricated.
Thankyou.

Hello,
I just thought I would bring this up again. I got some good info from another forum on Oberfeldwebel Fredrich Wimmer, but has anyone got any info on the other two RK holders. Help.
Thanks.

Hello LAH!

Whatever Oberleutnant Alfred Wimmer did to posthumously recive the Knight's Cross on 16.01.1945 (he died on 09.01.1945 near Strassburg-Herrlisheim, Elsass), he also recieved the Ehrenblattspange des deutschen Heeres (Honor Roll Clasp) posthumously on 15.01.1945. Oberleutnant Alfred Wimmer commanded the III./GR 3 Oberrhein in the 553. VGD at the time of his death.

Hauptmann Johann Wimmer was commanding I./Fsch.Pz.Ers.u.Ausb.Rgt. "HG" when he recieved his Knight's Cross on 28.01.1945.
