![]() | Looking for info on; Chief of Staff (Chef des Stabes): Kapitän zur See Harald Netzband who was on the Bismarck when it sank and didn't survive. Harald Netzbandt recieved the DKiG (German Cross in Gold) on 30.04.1941 as a Kapitän z.S. with the OKM/Flottenkommando. Source: Patzwall & Scherzer (2001). He either recieved the award posthumously, just some three days after the sinking of the Bismarck. Netzbandt, Harald (03.08.1892 - 27.05.1941) 01.10.36 - 25.11.39 Chef der Abteilung Allgemeine u. Angelegenheiten der Seeoffiziere im Marinepersonalamt (MPA I) __.11.39 - 01.08.40 Kommandant Schlachtschiff Gneisenau 02.08.40 - 27.05.41 Chef des Stabes beim Flottenkommando 27.05.41 auf dem Schlachtschiff Bismarck gefallen DKG: 30.04.42 als Kpt.z.S., Chef des Stabes beim Flottenkommando Having trouble finding anything beyond these most basic details, wondered if anyone had any further info. I was genuinely surprised to find so little information on such a high ranking officer. I had the honour of meeting his grandson, who told me some interesting stories. I thought it'd be interesting to find out more, but there's little on the web, and few of my books are Naval. cheers, |
