Combat History of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505 - now published

I have been remiss in announcing the release of my latest book here on Feldgrau. If you are interested in Tigers, Heer Tiger abteilungen, and/or Panzer memoirs you should appreciate this book. It goes well with previously published Tiger-abteilung histories. Charging Knights on the Eastern Front: Th...

Re: Dr. Wilhelm Wacker - Kriegsberichter - HELP

Yes -- I have been trying Google as well. I have verified that Dr. Wacker existed - and the article you found is further verification.
I wish there was a database with all of his articles together.

Thanks!

I know that Dr. Wilhelm Wacker accompanied many different units / branches of service - I am hoping to find the article he wrote about when he was in a Tiger panzer -- wi...

Hauptmann von Carlowitz -- AOK 9

Can anyone help me with some information on a Hauptmann von Carlowitz who served as a temporary abteilung Kommandeur for schwere Panzer Abteilung 505?

The only information I have is that he replaced the wounded Abt. Kdr. Sauvant on
August 14, 1943.
He was assigned from AOK 9.

Thank for any help...

Re: Paulus' family after his surrender?

Interesting Remy -- I had heard that a descendant of FM Paulus lived in my area and was a practicing dentist. I am in the States, in PA. I did not ever follow-up on this but it certainly stands out in my memory. I have to try and remember who it was that told me this information.
