Can somebody tell me who commanded 6./SS 'Deutschland' in September/October 1938? Does somebody have more info about this Kompanie or the Regiment 'Deutschland' from that period?
Thanks in advance,
Timo

Hi Timo,
as far as I know it was the 2. SS Regiment 'Deutschland' and not the 6. Regiment in 1938.
1. SS Regiment LSSAH ' Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler '
2. SS Regiment 'Deutschland'
3. SS Regiment 'Germania' later part of the 5. SS Panzer Division WIKING
4. SS Regiment 'Der Führer'
...
I'm not totaly sure about the comander but I think it could be Wilhelm Bittrich at this time.

Thanks for your reply Enrico,
6./SS 'Deutschland' is the 6th company of II. Batallion of SS Regiment 'Deutschland', meaning that I'm looking for the commander of 6. Kompanie for September/November 1938. For the same period I'm also looking for the name of the commander of II./SS 'Deutschland'
Regards,
Timo

Timo...according to Weidinger's history of Das Reich...the II.Battalion commader of "Deutschland" was Carl-Maria Demelhuber with Siegfried Max Schultz as battalion adjutant.
I couldn't find the name of the 6.Kompanie commander though...Weidinger seems to mention every company but the 6th!
I hope this helps.
