Herbert Otto Gille, a German hero and not a criminal
Herbert Gille was the fourth son of the manufacturer, Hermann Gille. From 1903 to 1909 he visited the Bürgerschule and then the Gymnasium in his hometown. Since his fourteenth year he belonged to the Kadettenkorps Bensberg. After moving to the Berlin-Lichterfelde main railway station in 1914, he entered the 2nd Badische Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 30 in Rastatt as a cadet. After the beginning of the First World War, he was transferred to the newly established Reserve Field Artillery Regiment No. 55, with which he moved to the front in December 1914. In January, 1915, he was promoted to lieutenant, and was employed in his regiment as a platoon leader, battery officer, and lastly as battery manager. In addition to both classes of the Iron Cross, Gille also received the Austrian Military Service Cross III for his achievements Class.
After the Armistice of Compiègne, he returned to his homeland with his regiment, and at the end of January 1919 came back to his regular regiment. After the demobilization and dissolution, Gille was exempted from military service on March 31,He lived first as Eleve on the estate Bätzigerode near Kassel, was administrators on the estate Bamhof in 1920/21, and afterwards stewards until 1923 on a property near Abbesbüttel. In 1922, Gille joined the steel helmet, to which he belonged until 1926. From 1923 to 1929 he had changing employment on domains and knightly goods and then worked as a traveler at Büssing AG until 1931. On January 25, 1931, he was sentenced to RM 20, - or, alternatively, four days\' imprisonment, for gambling on the basis of §§ 47, 248 RStGB.
In 1927, Gille married with Sophie Charlotte Mennecke ( 31 December 1903 in Stemmen), which he married on 4 January 1935. On October 9, 1935, his only daughter was born. The order of the SS-Sippenamt to provide an ancestral evidence to the year 1750, Gille, with which he as one of the few higher SS leaders had no \"proof of the proof\".
In November 1930 he joined the NSDAP (membership number 537.337) and was admitted to the SS (SS No. 39.854) in December 1931. From January 1933 he led the engine stunt of the 49th SS-stand in Brunswick, which belonged to the Motor-SS.
On 20 April 1933 he was promoted to SS-Sturmführer, took command of the 49th SS-stand and was involved in an intrigue to overthrow the Braunschweig government. On 20 July 1933 he was excluded from the party and the SS. However, a procedure before the Party\'s condemnation of the NSDAP reached its resumption in the party and the SS, and on April 9, 1934, as surplus SS leader, z.b. to the 49th SS-standard. Gille, who had struggled to be admitted to the Reichswehr, joined the SS ruling group, which was set up on 14 December 1934, and assumed responsibility for the 11th Company of SS-Stand 2 \"Deutschland\" on 17 May 1935 as SS Obersturmführer, in Ellwangen. After attending a training course at Döberitz Infantry School, Gille came to the SS Regiment \"Germania\" in Arolsen, where he was given command of the Second Battalion on 15 February. On the occasion of the 48th birthday of Adolf Hitler, Gille was promoted to the SS Stormbanger on 20 April 1937.
On June 1, 1939, Gille was entrusted with setting up an artillery division for the SS Dispensation Division, after participating in an artillery training course in Jüterbog in the spring of 1939. As a division commander of the 1st Division of the Artillery Regiment of the Dispensation Division, Gille participated in the Polish and Western campaigns, where he acquired the clasp to his Iron Crosss from the First World War. After the artillery regiment headed by SS Obergruppenführer Felix Steiner in November 1940, Gille took command of the Regiment on 30 January 1941 in the rank of SS leader. In this position he participated in the attack on the Soviet Union.
n October 1, 1941, Gille was promoted to the SS superintendent, and on February 28, 1942, he received the Deutsche Kreuz in Gold for his achievements in the retreat war on the Mius position (Battle of Rostov). As a leader of an advance division, he contributed to the renewed conquest of Rostov on July 23, 1942, and allowed the crossing of the Kuban. On October 28, 1942, he received the Knight\'s Cross of the Iron Cross. Shortly afterwards, he took command of the SS Division Wiking from SS Obergruppenführer Steiner.
In an attempt to detain the German 6th Army, which was included in Stalingrad, Gilles Division was able to cover the southern flank of the 4th Panzer Army with difficulty and secure the retreat to the Don. The river was reached by the Wiking Division on 5 February 1943. In Rostov SS-Obergruppenführer Steiner again took command of the division. Gille, who had been promoted to the SS Brigade and Generalmajor of the Waffen-SS on 1 December 1942, acted as his deputy.
In the withdrawal battles after the unsuccessful offensive at Kursk (company citadel), Gille, who had commanded the Wiking Division since May 1, 1943, once again distinguished himself. His leadership qualities enabled the division to be ordered to retreat. Gille was honored with the oak leaves as a knight\'s cross.
In the late 1943 the SS-Division Wiking was used to secure the Dnepr near Cherkassy. Gilles\'s ruthless defense tactics contributed to the heavy losses the SS Division had to accept. In an attempt to expel the Red Army units, two battalions were torn up and a regimental commander killed. On 9 November 1943, Gille was promoted to SS-Gruppenführer and Lieutenant-General of the Waffen-SS.
During the Korsun-Shevchenko operation, at the end of January 1944 Soviet troops south-west of Kiev crossed the German front line. Thus, two German army corps with nine divisions and 54,000 soldiers were encircled. Among them was the SS Division Wiking. After three weeks under the leadership of the general of the artillery Wilhelm Stemmermann the outbreak of about 35,000 soldiers from the boiler succeeded, leaving heavy weapons and equipment as well as a multitude of wounded. Only the Wiking Division and the Wallonia fortification, which was also included, were still recognizable as closed units.
On 19 February 1944 Gille received the swords from the Knight\'s Cross at Hitler\'s headquarters. At the same time, the situation in Kowel, which was declared a \"fixed place,\" which was held only by weak German troops, began to soar. On March 16, 1944, Gille was allowed to fly into the city already conquered by Soviet troops in order to command the troops encircled there. A relief attack by the 131st Infantry Division, the 4th and 5th Panzer Divisions, and the SS Division of Wiking, on April 4, 1944, connected the German lines. For the defense of Kowel, Gille received on 19 April 1944 from Hitler the brilliants to the knight cross with oak leaves and swords.
While the SS Division of Wiking was being refreshed, Gille was given command of the newly formed SS SS Panzer Corps on 8 August 1944 during the collapse of Army Group Center (Operation Bagration), with which he could stop the Soviet attack on Warsaw , On 9 November 1944, Gille was promoted to SS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS for his defensive order.In order to relieve Budapest of the Red Army, Gilles IV SS Panzerkorps was transferred to Hungary on Christmas Eve. The relief attack, which began on New Year\'s Day 1945, remained however already after few days from lack of fuel and ammunition stuck. A second attempt came to a halt about 20 kilometers off Budapest, because the German attack points had almost been cut off by a Soviet counter-attack. Between the commander of the 6th Army, General of Panzer Group Hermann Balck, and Gille, a little later came to the dispute as to whether a further advance was still possible. Balck later made the assumption that Gille was to be built by Heinrich Himmler as \"Savior of Budapest\".By April 1945 the army group Balck had repeatedly tried to stop the Soviet attacks and strike back the Red Army, while the reserves continued to fade. On May 7, Gille and his corps set out for Austria, where on May 8, 1945, with part of his troops in Radstadt, he embarked on American warfare.
Until June 1946, Gille was imprisoned in the internment camp of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, where he was a camp leader. In June 1946, however, his statement in the Nuremberg trial against the main war criminals was dispensed with. On 21 May 1948 he was released and could return to his family to Stemmen. As a member of a criminal organization, Gille was sentenced to a prison sentence of one and a half years of deprivation of liberty in the context of the denazification in April 1949, which, however, was lifted by the Court of Appeals. Gille was admitted to the category V as relieved.
According to the British secret service, he belonged in 1950 to the \"Brotherhood\", an association of Altnazis around the ex-gate manager Karl Kaufmann, who wanted to emigrate the young Federal Republic of Germany.
Gille was one of the organizers of the decentralized aid community of recipients of the former Waffen-SS (HIAG). Similar to Otto Kumm in Hamburg, he established a regional organization in southern Lower Saxony. In 1951 he became a nationwide influence through the organization of a search service. From 1953 he belonged to the presidency of the HIAG-Bundesverbinstelle. At the same time, both Gille and Paul Hausser and Felix Steiner did not seek an independent organization of former members of the Waffen-SS. Instead, a common organization with former soldiers of the Wehrmacht should be formed. The reason was the fear that an independent organization could be banned as a successor organization of the Waffen-SS, and the assertion on the part of the veterans of the Waffen-SS that they were \"soldiers like others\". Since 1951, Gille has been a member of the Presidium of the German Soldiers\' Association (VdS), who was open to the admission of former members of the Waffen SS.
In July 1953, Gille gave a speech on a soldier meeting organized by the VdS in Hanover. According to the historian Bert-Oliver Manig, in his \"enthusiastically received speech in the language of national socialism, Gille made reconciliation offers to the Federal Republic.\" A photograph taken after the demonstration shows Gille with the handshake with Vice Chancellor Franz Blücher (FDP). The historian Karsten Wilke points to a picture taken by Hitler and Hindenburg on the day of Potsdam and recognizes \"immeasurable parallels in the image structure\". The supposedly staged recording, published in Gilles magazine Wikingruf, shows a new edition of the \"Bildpropaganda of National Socialism with its own symbolic language in the journalism of the HI\", according to Wilke.
The magazine Wikingruf had been published since 1951 by Gille. The magazine outlined the \"pangermanic\" character of the Waffen-SS, and thus connected with national socialist representations of the last phase of the war. Especially in the case of officer portraits and reports of war, the style, the choice of words, and the presentation of the elements can be seen in the SS journal Das Schwarze Korps
Already the establishment of the HIAG-Bundesverbindungsstelle 1953 had against the will Gilles done. Presumably in November 1955, Gille left the HAG after further decisions had been made in favor of an independent, nationwide organization. Around the periodical Wikingruf up to its attitude in 1958 there were persistent conflicts between Gille and the HIAG, in the course of which Gille financial accusations and commercial incompetence were accused. As a competing product, HIAG published the magazine Der Volunteer from 1956.
On 26 December 1966 Herbert Otto Gille died of the consequences of a heart attack
