Herbert Norkus Unit 12 SS

[woolgar]

On 13th Feb 1943 Himmler sent a letter to Axman stating Hitler had agreed to the formation of a HJ Waffen SS Unit proposong Hitlerjugend to be conferred on the Division as well as the name Herbert Norkus on one of its units.

Did this unit happen as I cant find any mention in my research so far?

Nick, this is the only "officially" named Herbert Norkus unit that I am aware of.

Thanks Darin! That is a fascinating thread regarding Herbert Norkus
Your collection never ceases to amaze me!

I really dont think the 12th SS had a "Herbert Norkus" unit as I cant find any info at all about it!

Unless anyone else has read anything!
