Evening all,
Can someone please interpret what Koll's role as Wehrmacht-Kraftfahrzeugwesens at O.K.W. was? The closest I can get to it is some sort of Military Vehicle Association, but this seems a bizarre posting for a highly experienced Panzer Regiment commander for almost the last two years of the war (With a brief command of 1st Panzer at the beginning of 1944.
Regards from the Park,
Richard
