Hi,
SS recruiting chief Gottlob Berger protected Oscar Dirlewanger before and during the war. I remember reading somewhere between the two. From where is this friendship (WWI?) And how intimate it was? Did members of SS and Army know much about the existence of Dirlewanger brigade, and that court martialed. They Could end up in this infamous unit?
I did not find the right solution from the internet.
