  Fragen von einem amerikanischen Historiker

Erste, verzeihung - mein Deutsch is sehr schlect.

I am an American historian, and I am searching for information regarding two SS officers captured near Wörgl, Austria, in May 1945. There names were Sebastian Wimmer (SS-Totenkopfverbande) and Stefan Otto (SS-SD). I have located several POW numbers for each name (see below), and I am trying to determine when they were captured, by which U.S. unit, where they were held, and what happened to them (released? executed for war crimes?)

Sebastian Wimmer
31G-2300142
31G-6302379
31G-2519415
31G-1919860

Stefan Otto:
31G-959092
31G-228093

I have put in a research request to WASt, but am working on a short deadline and I understand it takes WASt quite a long time to respond. Does anyone know anything about the capture and ultimate fate of Wimmer or Otto?

Thanks,
Steve
