Here in correct Forum for my request.

I am researching a SS Officer by the name of Karl Otto Schlei who, I understand, died about 6 years ago.

I know he was in SS Div. "Wiking" in 1941, then at January 1944 was '5.SS B Div Wiking and at March 1944 onwards was: Stab/11.SS Frein.B.Gr.Div. Nordland with the rank of Major.

(Incidentally, does anyone have a copy of "Otto Weidinger's" biography. Yesterday, by e-mail (Mark Yerger), told me there is a group photo in the book where Schlei would be included.)

Any information on the Officer would be gratefully received.
