I had subsequently read that both were promoted in 1944. Ditriech on Aug 1st 1944. Haussar apperently was promoted later that year, but had his actual promotion date back dated to August 1st 1944. Although, Ditriech was in the SS earlier, wasn't Haussar higher rank in the regular Army (General). Was...

Who was more senior - Sepp Deitrich or Paul Haussar. I know that these two officers were the highest ranking Waffen-SS field commanders. What was the highest command each had. (Corps, Army, Army Group) Did both serve on the East and in the West. I have see only one picture of Sepp Deitrich wearing t...

Who was the Commander in Chief for the East during 1944 and 1945.
I have read several references to a CinC West, but nothing about one for the East.

Did Rommel ever conduct inspections of the Channel Islands. Did he ever vist the Islands. I have yet to read that any "Senior" commanders visted the Islands. Does anyone know if this is the case.

There seems to be a major misconception which is widely published in various publication, forums, papers, ect...

Can anyone provide comment on the relationship between the Waffen SS two most senior (highest ranking) generals. I had read that that Hausser wasn't to fond of Dietrich early on. How was there realtionship later on. I believe they also served in the same theater of operations. Did they share equal c...

I recently picked up the book "Trail of the Fox” by David Irving. I noticed that on the back of the book cover there was a picture of two officer caps and two GFM batons. Inside the back cover was the caption "The caps and batons of GFM Erwin Rommel from Wilhelm Ritter von Schramm" Is...

If done in the presence of the Hitler, where did it occur and was Schroener presented with GFM's baton. Was he awarded any other decoration during his promotion to GFM. Are ...

What division was stationed on the Channel Islands and what was it's strength. Who were the divisional commanders. Were there any Waffen-SS stroops stationed on the Islands

Where all offciers within the SS (as a whole) promoted the same through the same process. Did offciers of the Waffen SS and the SD get promoted the same way. As an example, Would SS General Paul Hausser get promoted up the ranks that same way as SS General Karl Wolf. Did Himmler mimself, approve all...

Was SS Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein well respected among others close to AH. Was he well liked among other SS commanders and soldiers. Although the SS was feared as a whole, and being SS General certaily had it's own identiy, where people more fearful, or maybe itimidated by SS Gruppenführer Herma...

According to history, Hitler gave Remer direct orders. Did this actaully occur ? With everyh...
