Another very, very interesting Wehrpass, to another Brandenburger.
This guy was a Pioniere. Joined the outfit in January 1942. Active in Russia (special ops), and in Jugoslavia (fighting partisans). So, page 1 - units page. Of special interest is the fact that he was with Einheit Kirchner from start to finish.  |

Only God knows what this guy did in Einheit Kirchner  And finally, before joining Skorzeny, he fought partisans in Jugoslavia.  |

I just find out the unit of Wilhelm Schmidt, Gunther Billing and Manfred Pernass before they joined the KommandoKompanie Panzerbrigade 150. Gunther Billing was from Marinenachrichtendienst, Manfred Pernass was from 3.Kompanie 4 Nachrichten-Ersatzbataillon. and Wilhelm Schmidt was come from 5.Kompanie 23.Luftwaffen-Nachrichtenregiment. Obviously, none of them were Brandenburgers |

Michael Schadewitz's "The Meuse First and then Antwerp", this actually made lot of sense, notice all of these three men come from the intellegence branch of Germany army, air force and navy, I guess they got that job because they were good at English language.

After initial training, with Pz-Gren Ers. Btl 413, he was recruited into the Brandenburg Rgt.
Initially, into RGT 4, but soon after, he went to RGT 1, third company, operating against partisans in Greece.  |
