Here we have a rather rare SS Unit, I have not seen any to this unit in many years dealing in IDs. Siegmund Wichmann was born in 1923 in Romania. He was enlisted/Volunteered for the Waffen SS in April 1943 with: Stammkompanie / SS Grenadier Ersatz Btl “Ost” After training he was posted to his frontline unit: SS Grenadier Ausbildungs Btl “Ost” SS Jäger Btl 500 – Stabskompanie Commander SS-Sturmbannführer Beilhack Manpower strength 30 June 1944 – 1.271 SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was under the administrative command of 292. Infanterie-Division, which was part of Armee Gruppe Mitte from June 1941 to January 1945. A quick bit of research shows the divisional commander from 30.6.1944 to 1.9.1944 to have been Generalmajor Johannes Gittner. SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was engaged in security and anti-partisan operations behind the German lines during its time with 292. SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was disbanded in October 1944, the survivors being sent to SS-Panzergrenadier-Ausbildungs und Ersatz Btl 35, which was the depot of the SS-Jagdverbände and SS-Fallschirmjäger-Btl 500 and 600. Tessin: SS-Jäger-Btl.500 * 15. 4. 1944 zu 5 Kpn. aus dem Jäger-Btl. der Nachschub-Kdtr. Rußland-Mitte in Moorlager (Bereza-Kartuska bei Brest-Litowsk); im Partisaneneinsatz Mittelrußland, zuletzt Sept. 1944 bei Warschau; Okt. 1944 aufgelöst; Abwicklung beim SS-A usb.und Ers.Btl. 35 in Konitz. U: Sondertruppe RF -SS In March of 1945, it seems he was issued combat equipment once again including a rifle for combat with his replacement unit. SS Grenadier Ausbildungs und Ersatz Batl 25 – Konitz Westpreussen Interestingly, SS-Jagdverbände merely used SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. 35 as a ‘cover’. SS-Führungs-Hauptamt order of 1.12.1944 changes the nomenclature from SS-Grenadier-Ausbildungs und Ersatz-Bataillon 35 to SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. 35 with effect from 15.11.1944. The latter designation was used as early as October 1944 in paybooks issued to members of SS-Fallschirmjäger-Btl 600 and the SS-Jagdverbände. Promoted SS Sturmmann – February 1945 – SS Grenadier Ersatz Btl 35 Awards Black Wounds Badge – Wounded on the 15th of July 1944 – fighting Partisans Given in June of 1944 a special Führer Paket along with money. Last comments Very rare unit, directly engaged with fighting partisans.
