- 3. November 2003
- It's been a very long time. I am now able to resume updating and maintaining the webpage. Allot has changed since I became sick towards the beginning of 2001. I have a number of updates planned over the next few months, including one dedicated to the memory of Mr. Hans Siegel - pictures, bio and an interview. Mr. Siegel did much to support my research, and his presence is deeply missed following his death in April of last year. Mr Georg Hurdelbrink passed away on the 26th of August 2002 after a long illness. A deep personal loss to me was the death of Mr. Willy Hund. Mr. Hund served with SS-Div. Nordland, and was the only soldier of that Division to be decorated with both the Knight's Cross and Honor Roll Clasp. Mr. Hund is resting peacefully, ich bin sicher.
- I've added a new photo and started the biography of SS-Sturmbannführer Siegfried Müller. Müller was in Demyansk with the Pi.Btl. of the SS-T.Div. as a Kp.-Chef, and in this position was decorated with the German Cross in Gold. He assumed command of the Pi.Btl. of the SS-Pz.Div. HJ upon it's formation, and in this post was decorated with the Honor Roll Clasp. After the battles in Normandy, Müller took command of the SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. 25 of the SS-Pz.Div. "HJ" and in this post was decorated with the Knight's Cross. SS-Sturmbannführer Johannes Taubert took command of the Pi.Btl. after Müller, and I've added a new picture of him, as well as which awards he received.
- I've added a very detailed casualty listing for III.(gep.)/SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt 26 during the months of June and July. I'll be adding more of these (and more Kompanie-liste) as time permits. These casualty lists include first and last name, rank, date of birth plus when, where and how the soldier became a casualty. These lists will be accessible from the History Page
- A search function has been added for the three separate Kompanie liste found on the site.
3./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt 25, 10./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt 25 and 3./SS-Pz.Pi.Btl 12.
