Commanders:


24. Juni 1943 SS-Brigadeführer Fritz de Witt
14. Juni 1944 SS-Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer
6. September 1944 SS-Obersturmbannführer Hubert Meyer
24. Oktober 1944 SS-Brigadeführer Fritz Krämer
13. November 1944 SS-Brigadeführer Hugo Kraas


Wünsche was the commander of the 12. SS Panzerregiment I think.
