Who were the German Liaison Officers with the 3. Army (Romanian) and the 4. Army (Romanian).


For the 2. Army (Hungarian), I have: Generalmajor Hermann von Witzleben

For the 8. Army (Italian), I have: General Kurt von Tippelskirch


For the 4. Army (Romanian), I have a Colonel Hans Doerr.(???)


How large was such a Liaison Command Staff??

The liaison officers were (in 1942):

4th Army: Colonel Hans Doerr
3rd Army: Colonel Schone.

In 1941, they were:

4th Army: Major Macher
3rd Army: Lt.-Col. Lottner

There were also liaison officers assigned to Romanian Corps and Divisions fighting on the Eastern Front. If you want, i can give you a list.

Yes, this would be very nice!
(I'm trying to write a list of units and commanding officers in the area of 2nd Hungarian Army, 3rd Romanian Army, 4th Romanian Army, 4th German Tank Army, 6th German Army & 8th Italian Army for the time of the Battle in Stalingrad November 1942 till February 1943)

On another forum I was told that Walther Wenck was the German Liaison Officer with the 3rd Romanian Army.


But I found sth differnt.
According Walther Wenck I have found out:

On 22nd November 1942 Walter Wenck was ordered by Manstein to fullfill the job of the Chief of Staff of the 3. Army(Romanian), BUT NOT of the German Liaison Officer, AND also to build up an Army on the Chir River.
I guess the job of the German Liaison Officer was cancelled after the failure of the attack of the XXXXVIII. German Tank-Corps on 19th - 22nd November 1942.
Further on I guess Wenck fullfilled both jobs.

Thanks Olga & Dragos!


I will copy your list to Jason Pipes' FeldGrau Forum.


At the same time, November 1942 - January/February 1943:
Colonel Volkmar Schöne was the German Liaison Officer with the 3rd Romanian Army.
Colonel Walther Wenck was the Chief of Staff of the 3rd Romanian Army.


Thanks in advance for the future list of German Liaison Officers within the 4th Romanian Army.


Do you have any idea about the size of the German Liaison Detachements with Army / Corps / Divisions??

German liaison officers for 4th Romanian Army (for some of the units) :

4th Army – Det. Nr. 2 – Col. Hans Doerr
5th Cav. Div. – Det. Nr. 19 – Cpt. Von Konig
8th Cav. Div. – Det. Nr. 21 – Maj. Aller

A liaison detachment consisted of (for a Corps) : 1 staff officer, 2 other officers, 1 translator, 4 secretaries, 1 driver, 2 transmissions teams (each with 1 car and 5 motos with drivers).
A divisional detachment was similar but only had 1 transmission team.
I hope it helps.
