SS-Untersturmführer Rudolf "Rudi" Bal Vermisst 1945

Here is an officer who entered the Waffen-SS in 1943. Shortly after his service started another Officer had seen hi spotential as an Officer and he was sent to SS-Junkerschule BAd Tölz and completed the 11.Kriegslehrgang there. It ended in 1944 and shortly after was Rudolf promoted to SS-Untersturmführer (21.6.1944). As Rudolf was from Belgium he didn´t get an SS-Number which was exclusivly for Reich- or Volksdeutsche.

He became missing in Action in January 1945, not known eactly where, but he was at the time Company commander of the 3./SS-Frw.Gren.Rgt.70 of the SS-Div. "Wallonie"

He was born April 30, 1911 in Borgerhout. Even if his ad at Deutsche Rote Kreuz shows that he was born in Brüssels. His SS-Personalfile from SS-Personal Führungshauptamt gives a littlebit more information.

  1. The reason that his birthplace could been mistakably Brussel because his adres was in Ganshoren a district of Brussel. So he lived in Brussel but was born in Borgerhout. He also was member of the Walloon REX pary from 1936.

  2. I forgot to mention that his official name was Bal Rudolphus Robertus.
