Name the future Sr. Waffen SS officer who, was also a member of a Freikorps unit(s) after ww1 AND give me the name of his Freikorps unit ~~~AND~~~ give me his correct rank in the correct branch of service and the date he was that rank. The rank I am looking for is: The Rank of CAPTAIN. I need to have the correct name for that rank--depending on whether he at that rank--was in the W-SS, or the Army, or the Luftwaffe or the Marine. He could have been at the rank of Captain, in one of those other branches of service--but not necessarily not--he could have also just achieved that rank in the Waffen SS as well. In short: I need the mans full name as listed in the bios, I need the name of the Freikorps unit he served in--(no date necessary), I need the Branch of service he was in when he reached the rank equivilent to the rank of Captain, and the date he reached that rank. An example: Johann Jakob Jingle Heimer-Schmidt, Freikorps von Lutzow, Heer Hauptmann as of May 11/ 1936. I TOLD you this wasnt going to be easy--but perhaps it REALLY is--because of the bios I have listed so far--there are ONLY 7 men who reach the criteria im asking for. Only one will entirely match that which I seek. [ 04. March 2003, 07:21 PM: Message edited by: C.Evans ]
PS: THE only way you will find out the correct answer is by this clue: Look for the man who served in 5th Kompanie, 2nd Battaillon, Artillerie Regiment Nr.3 from August to October 1934. Get this and the DVD movie is yours.
I think I have it!!!! Heinz Reinfarth Freikorps "Oberland" November 1923. Freikorps "Bamberg" 1925. He served as an enlisted man in 5. Kompanie, 2. Batallion, 3. Artillerieregiment, August-October 1924. Promoted to SS Hauptsturmführer on April 20th 1937. His top rank in WWII: SS Gruppenführer. Tell me it's true!
Carl Graf von Puckler-Burghaus, Heeres Hauptmann on May 1/ 1917, served in the Friekorps "Iron Division," til May 1920.
Friedrich got it--sorry PzJgr. Fried was awaiting in ambush and I think I gave too many details. One thing though--it Forced one to do some serious scanning of most of the Waffen SS Officers listed. Ill try to afford having another Quiz soon--possible a book or something. Fried--send me your snail-mail address by PM or regular email and ill get it out to you. PzJgr--if it was any consolation--Puckler-Burghaus was my first choice. I didnt pick him because I wanted this to be challenging but not impossible to find an answer. [ 05.

Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch "F" Do you have a DVD player that will play American DVD.s?
Thanks Carl. I was so excited I forgot about the hint. But nevertheless, Friedrich still would have beaten me to the punch.
Quite welcome PzJgr/friend ill try to come up with another one soon. I think I will continue to make them Waffen SS related.
