@Militiahistoria

Kurt Meyer, also known as Panzermeyer, was a high-ranking German Waffen-SS officer during the Second World War.

Meyer rose through the ranks of the SS and was appointed as the commander of the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend, a unit comprising former Hitler Youth members.

Meyer was captured by the Allies in 1944, and was later convicted for war crimes undertaken by troops under his command.

He was initially sentenced to death, but this was later commuted to life imprisonment. He was eventually released from from prison in 1954.

Upon his release from prison he took an active part in the activities of HIAG, an organisation and lobby group of former Waffen-SS members and campaigned for the rehabilitation of the Waffen-SS.
