Maybe someone can give me the answer to the question: did 23 SS division 'Nederland' fought in Berlin? I read The German Defense of Berlin by W.Willemar where it says the following: 6. Remnants of other combat units, including the 9th Parachute Division and SS Panzer Grenadier Division "Nederl...

Hendrik,

Do you mean the ribon of the War Merit Cross (Kriegsverdienstkreuz) ?

If so than please have a look at this Dutch link for further details: Kriegsverdienstkreuz

The Russians have records from German units. The extent is unknown, but a well known author tells me he has laid eyes on an Army KTB , but not allowed to touch or copy. Getting those records, from what I hear, is literally impossible, unless you are a high ranking general in the Russian army. Or Vl...

Hendrik, This week I travel to Germany etc. for some research, here is a English link of the Magistrat Graz . E-mail: stadtverwaltung@stadt.graz.at You could provide them of all information available and ask them if they have further details, don't forget that it's very common in Germany to pay for ...

Richard, There has been a twist in the search for Teunis. Even though the National Archives in Den Haag hold no record of him (databases & card systems), the Regional Archivist in Epe found a reference to him on a Civil Registration form. The reference states:- "According declaration from ...

Richard, If you have 40 requests in progress I can see why perhaps that yours sometimes takes longer! There is "no longer" at the WASt, if the request is for official matters / private matters or research. Even for official matters (government) it's not going faster, I use a "Amtlich...

I just checked, when I was searching for my grandfather, it took the WASt only two (!) months to find the first information. A second request took them longer (also about my grandfather), about eight or nine months. Normally when it takes about 2>3 months it wasn't the first tracing request for thi...

It is FP No 17.492 And is mentioned in a Hauptamt SS Gericht letter from 16-6-44

Is anyone able to identify the Waffen SS unit using this FP number?

Stab 3. SS-Division

thanks very much do you have to be a close relative to get this information or will being his grandson be sufficient You don't have to be a relative necessarily (just use Private form and fill out the relationship to applicant). Because he was captured in russia you could also contact the Russian M...

You could fill out a Private Request Form regarding his military career at the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt). You have to be patient for about 6>8 month's before you get a answer (if there is any information regarding your grandfather available).

Just a few examples but the are plenty more !! There seem to be black africans who served as drivers for the NSKK, but so far I haven't seen any pics or evidence so far. I just heard the rumour. :x http://www.axishistory.com/fileadmin/user_upload/a/arab-soldier-greece.jpg http://www.axishistory.com/...

Did you fill out a online tracing request at the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt)?

Richard, I have had an email from the National Archief in Den Haag, saying that the name Biesterbos is not mentioned on their database, but they still have to check their card-index boxes. The search will be long and difficult, but there must be some records out there somewhere. Still waiting on a ...

Hendrik,

I forgot to mention to fill out a online tracing request a the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt) in Berlin.

Feel free to contact me by e-mail if you need support in your native language!

Thank you for your interest in my search. Teunis Biesterbos was born on April 27, 1923. My family home was in Epe, Holland, so I assume he was born there. There is very little else I can tell you about him, as my parents never raised the subject in our presence. Hendrik, I couldn't find Teunis Bies...
