Auschwitz-Birkenau
Dr. Raimond Ehrenberger, SS-Sturmbannführer, was born on August 6, 1893 in Vienna, Austria. A doctor and a dentist, he was assigned to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1941 and the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1941 to 1942. Ehrenberger later served in the 6th SS Division “Nord” and the V SS Corps in 1943. After the war he was imprisoned for fifteen months, but was released and resumed practice as a dentist in Austria until he died in Graz on October 14, 1974.

At Kursk SS-Untersturmführer Heinz Quade commanded Tiger 921 as the leader of the Second Platoon of the 9th (Heavy) Company in the Totenkopf for the duration of the offensive even though he was wounded in the eye by enemy anti-tank rifle fire. He received the Iron Cross First Class on August 6, 1943. Heinz, now the acting company commander, was not so lucky on Hill 308 near Kolontaiv in the Ukraine on August 31, 1943. An enemy anti-tank round struck the Tiger’s cupola, shearing the structure off and inflicting massive fatal effects to Heinz Quade. Another source states that the event happened about 0400 hours on September 1, 1943 at the same location. His remains are believed to be buried at the German War Cemetery in Kharkov.
