Some biographic info on Carl Gustav Sauberzweig
Karl Gustav Sauberzweig born on 1 September 1899 in Wissek Kreis Wirstiz Bezirk Bromberg, West Prussia. His father, Joachim Sauberzweig, was a doctor. Like many German youths, he longing to join with Kaiser army and got his chances when on 28 September 1916 the army received him within theirs ranks. Started as a Fahnenjunker, he ended the First World War in as a leutnant.
A veteran of the First World War and Reichswehr, Leutnant Sauberzweig held several instructor and staff positions during the inter-war period before becoming Ib at XI Korps in the Summer of 1936 and promoted to Major the following Autumn. He was holding the same post at XVII Korps when war broke out in September 1939, but was transferred to the Formation Detachment of the General Staff at OKH after the successful conclusion of Fall Weiss. He returned to operational duties as Ia at XI Korps and served in France where he was wounded at Dunkirk.
Shortly before Barbarossa was launched in June 1941, Sauberzweig had been appointed to take up command of 466th Infantry Regiment (257th Inf. Div.), which fought in most of H. Gr. Süd. During one of battles in Ukraine, Sauberzweig was again injured. This time by granite chips in his eyes, causing him to lose the sight in his right eye. After hospitalized for some time, he returned to duty at the beginning of October as commander of 306th Infantry Regiment. Part of 211th Inf. Div, on occupation duty in France, it would appear that he relinquished command at around the same time as they were sent to reinforce H. Gr. Nord during the Winter of 1941/42 and held a number of Instructor and training posts, as well as being promoted to Oberst, until May when he took charge of 131st Infantry Ersatz Regiment in Brünn. He held this post until November, when he returned to the staff of OKH as C.o.S. at the Inspectorate of Formations Staffs.
At the beginning of August 1943 he was transferred to the Waffen-SS as an Oberführer (Senior Colonel, a rank unique to the SS) and, a few days later, took over command of the ‘Handzar’ Division from Herbert von Obwurzer. The division, which was training in southern France, mutinied soon after his arrival and several German officers and NCO were reportedly killed, as were a number of the mutineers when order was restored. Despite its rebellious nature they continued their training and moved to Silesia during September/October, where their commander was promoted to SS-Brigadeführer, and Austria (December) before being sent against Tito’s partisans in Yugoslavia as part of 2nd Panzerarmee, Heersgruppe F in February 1944.
During his stay with the division in Bosnia, Sauberzweig tried to create a peaceful existence between the local peoples. Unfortunately, his plans didn’t suit with his Moslem soldier’s nature that eager to exterminate theirs Christian neighbors. Thus, the Moslem recruits seemed to spend more time massacring Christian civilians than risking getting shot at by the resistance.
On June 1944, Sauberzweig handed over the command of the ‘Handzar’ to Desiderius Hampel. He then took command of the newly created IX SS Kroatische Gerbiskorps, responsible for control of two Bosnian SS divisions - ‘Handzar’ and the newly created ‘Kama’ - operations in the Balkans and was promoted to Gruppenführer shortly afterwards. However, Sauberzweig was quickly falling-out with the Reichsführer-SS when he told Himmler to dissolved the Bosnian formations after many Moslems soldiers deserted to Partisan ranks. Furiously with the suggestion, which could endanger his Moslem pet project, Himmler replaced him by Karl Pfeffer- Wildenbruch when the Corps was sent north to oppose the Soviet drive into Hungary in mid-December.
After a short spell in hospital, Sauberzweig transfered back to the Heer in mid-January as a Generalleutnant and served on the Staff of Heeresgrupe H until the last days of the war when he is reported to have led an ad-hoc Korps. Sauberzweig surrendered to British, which send him to Neuengamme prison camp. However, when he heard that partisans wanted his extradition, Sauberzweig committed suicide by swallowed poison on 20 October 1946 (presumably was given by a symphaetic English officer).

Outstanding post!
"DioGuardi lost his re-nomination bid in 1988 for Congress."
DioGuardi was a pro-life Catholic Republican Congressman from my district in Westchester. He's a solid conservative and lost his re-election to liberal Democrat Nita Lowey.

Or simply; "history is lies agreed upon."
For example: Raise your hand if you're a member of an ethnic group who set up concentration camps in the 1990's.
Ok, then. You can put your hand down now DTA. Time to deal with that, not wasting your time with 60 year old rationalizations for it.
