Additions to Bannführer and equivalent commanding officer project

Forums New posts
A very good thing. I'll see where I can help.
Thank you for your effort.
 
Great and tremendously extensive undertaking, but at the same time it can be really fun.
Very helpful that now the white spots can be found quickly :thumb:.

A request to all who want to contribute: Please keep an eye open for any Führerausweis/Leader ID - sometimes it is possible to decipher the signature of the initial promotion.
 
Okay, that's everything uploaded now except for the B Banne (B1, B2 etc) which I will get to tomorrow or at the weekend. I will of course continue searching for new entries and hope that with your help we can grow the project even further.

You can check the project out here:

List of commanding officers of the Bann, Untergau, Jungbann and JM-Untergau 1933-45

I have a project here which lists the male and female leaders of the HJ-Gebiete, BDM-Obergaue and the DJ and Jungmädel representatives 1933-45 and a while back I thought it might be useful to do the same one level down for the commanding officers at Bann, Untergau, Jungbann and JM-Untergau...

Wow Garry, thank you for the effort (y). That will make further research much easier, knowing what is still missing.
Although, of course, even in a year with a green tick, a new name may come up :biggrin1:.

Yes indeed Jack. As I mentioned in my text, the changes from Sept 1939 in particular came thick and fast so I have entries which say for example "from 1.10.1939 Jungbannführer Schmidt " but if I don't have the preceding Jungbannführer this leaves a window of eight months even though the tables make it appear as if I have a year completely covered.

The layout of the tables makes it easy to see what I definitely don't yet have but in the case of the green ticks it might sometimes be frustrating when you or other members take the time to add input and it ends up being a duplicate because you hit a Bann where I can see that someone held a post for that full 12-month period. However, everything is valuable and it's good practice to have multiple sources confirming a name and timeframe :thumb:

By the way, my compliments again to you on deciphering the signatures that I have been sending to you. It's not an easy task. I often come across documents signed by people for whom I already have proof that they were the commanding officer but where for the life of me I simply can't see that name in the signature 🤪
 
Thanks Garry.
In any case, I find the list extremely helpful. And if you have something twice - it doesn't matter. As you said - additional confirmation.
Signatures are always special - but I often find today's much more difficult to interpret :cool:. And of course the handwriting, if you go back very far in time. And then there's the additional obstacle of unusual wording or abbreviations for us today.
But as I told you, it's fun and, strangely enough, somehow relaxing? I recently had a class reunion that ended with me having a letter from 1840 to decipher :biggrin1:.
