Goldmann) 564 - (?)
The only constant thing are the tank numbers. Tank names changed or disappeared frequently. Commanders changed very often and even were swapped between Abteilungen. You should specify for which period or engagement you're looking. Are you looking for Beute-Tank commanders as well?
If you may, help me with full names of Commanders of German tanks (A7V as well Beutepanzerwagen IV) during the Battle of 21 March 1918, 24 April 1918 (at Villers-Bretonneux), 31 May 1918 (near Reims), 1 June 1918 (at Fort de la Pompelle), 9 June 1918 (at Noyon), 15 July 1918, 31 August 1918 (near Fremicourt) and, finnaly, 7 October 1918 (at St. Etienne). The last action by German tanks on October 11, 1918 is well known.
I don`t know the Names of Beutepanzerwagen IV (101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and others). If you may, give me the list of Comanders of the Tanks with the Names of the Tanks (only Beute).
I search the informations about dates of birth and dates of death of some German Commanders includings Bitter, Müller, von Jamrowski, Goldmann, Fuchsbauer.
