Hermann Maringgele – SS-Kavallerie-Regiment 15 “Florian Geyer” (RK+NKIG)
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hermann Maringgele. SS-Untersturmführer Hermann Maringgele (29.11.1911 † 21.07.2000) earned the Nahkampfspange in Gold and the Ritterkreuz on February 21, 1945 as SS-Hauptscharführer und Zugführer in 2. Schwadron/ SS-Kavallerie-Regiment 15 of the 8. SS-Kavallerie-Division “Florian Geyer”. He earned the most Nahkampftage of all the bearers (84)! Measuring: 17,7×12,5cm.
Ritterkreuz: “SS-Hauptscharführer Maringgele demonstrated extraordinary bravery and prudence as a leader during the fighting for Fortress Budapest. Over the course of 37 assault/patrol operations, some of which were conducted far behind enemy lines, he inflicted significant losses on the enemy and obtained much valuable reconnaissance. Through his bold operations (their success made possible solely due to his leadership and personal example) Maringgele was able to firm up the front of his Regiment time and again, and their success contributed significantly to the ability of the pocket’s frontline in this area to be maintained despite the strong enemy superiority. During the ordered breakout from the Budapest pocket Maringgele took control of a group of 60 men, and he led them deep through enemy territory in an exemplary manner. With these men he was the first soldier from the pocket to reach the German lines already on the 13.02.1945. SS-Hauptscharführer Maringgele has been involved in well over 50 days of close combat.”

Members of SS-Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke’s “break out group” saw quite a sight thanks to Bärenfänger.

As they made their escape, there before them they saw a “host” of new Tiger II tanks and “artillery pieces” arrayed around the Flak tower as if “on parade”. Bärenfänger was allegedly seated in the turret cupola of one of the Tigers thus arrayed. On 2 May, Bärenfänger, a devoted Nazi, committed suicide with his young wife and her brother in a side street of Berlin. (Source: Wikipedia)

Eduard Wanger became a conspirator against Hitler. When Claus von Stauffenberg sought approval for an assassination attempt on 15 July 1944, Wagner was cited as being definite that the assassination of Hitler should be attempted only if Heinrich Himmler was also present. On 20 July, Wagner arranged the airplane that flew Stauffenberg from Rastenburg back to Berlin after the bomb that was believed to have killed Hitler had exploded. After the failure of the coup attempt, Wagner feared that his arrest by the Gestapo was imminent and that he might be forced to implicate other plotters. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head at noon on 23 July 1944. (Source: Wikipedia)
