Description
(1910-1961) SS-Brigadefuhrer who commanded the LSSAH's reconnaissance battalion during the Third Battle of Kharkov in 1943 during which his men massacred more than eight hundred civilians. Meyer was later given command of the 12th SS Panzer Division 'Hitlerjugend' and served in Normandy, during which men under his command carried out the Ascq and Ardenne Abbey massacres. Rare T.L.S., 1p. 4to, Hagen, May 28, 1958 to [H. Keith] Thompson, a figure within American far right and fascist circles. Meyer states that he is pleased that his correspondent has found Meyer's memoirs, 'Grenadiere', to be of interest and comments: '...Even if I did not manage to remember every single phase of the fighting while writing the book, and to recall all precise times, there is still a good overview of the overall course of the fighting...'. Accompanied by a German printed supplement issued by Der Freiwillige in 1962 following Meyer's death. Folds, near fine.
