Führer-Begleit-Division Sd.Kfz.251/9 in surrender column, pinpointed west of Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia (now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic), May 1945
Czech researcher David Šolc pinpointed the location of the surrendered Führer-Begleit-Division Sd.Kfz.251/9 to Hory, which is about 5kms SW of Karlovy Vary (at the time known as Karlsbad) in the western Czech Republic. The small column comprising of an armoured Sd.Kfz.7/2 mounting a Flak 43, the Sd.Kfz.251/9 and two Sd.Kfz.10/5 can be seen inset top left, parked in the fork of the road. They appear to be the only armed vehicles amidst the mass of soft skinned vehicles streaming into US Army captivity, circa 9 May 1945. Historians Helmuth Später & Kamen Nevenkin both refer to remnants of FBD led by its CO Generalmajor Otto Ernst Remer (inset left) joining a 10.SS Kampfgruppe in defence near Dresden and the retreat south to action at Teplice in Cz, after which their route became obscure.
Remer is a particularly notorious figure, who had originally served with distinction in the Grossdeutschland Division. In March 1944 he was appointed to command the Berlin Wachbataillon GD, protecting Adolf Hitler's administration. In October 1944 he was assigned to the Führer-Begleit-Brigade, which he led during the Battle of the Bulge. Remer nowadays is most infamous, however, for his role on 20 July 1944 following the assassination attempt on Hitler, when he was ordered to arrest Joseph Goebbels, then instead followed Hitler's orders to suppress the coup.
Remer is most recognised nowadays through his portrayal by Thomas Kretschmann in the Tom Cruise movie Valkyrie, released 10 years ago. The film is notable for its early publicity brought on by some in Germany raising objections to its filming there, on the basis of Cruise's membership of the cult of Scientology. This was despite him being Hollywood's no.1 A-list actor, cast as the hero in a big budget anti-Nazi Hollywood produced movie. Not surprisingly, the filming in Germany went ahead as scheduled and the film was a commercial success.

Remer himself also provoked controversy throughout much of his post-war life in West Germany. He drew the greatest ire as a right wing politician, after he publicly supported historians who challenged aspects of the official Holocaust account, much of which in reality had been sourced from Stalin's pro-zionist communist regime and fellow zionists on the US and British side ( a narrative which continues to remain controversial to this day, particularly since Spielberg's Oscar winning documentary The Last Days and Britain's Channel 5 Treblinka documentaries). Remer perceived the holocaust narrative as embellished Marxist/zionist propaganda, intended to permanently vilify and stigmatise Germany, as part of a wider strategy to undermine and control it. He criticised the Holocaust narrative as also being embellished by zionists to strengthen zionism's justification for the creation of the state of Israel in 1949, which notably both Stalin's communist regime and the US capitalist regime were the first to mutually endorse in the United Nations, whilst cognizant of the violence it would obviously stoke in the region.
It remains unclear if the inevitable Middle East conflicts and the lucrative US and Soviet arms deals and other associated contracts that have ensued were issues Remer ever seriously criticised, however. Given his later means of employment as a well paid military advisor to Israel's then enemy Egypt, it would seem a bit like biting the hand that fed him if he did. Likewise, Remer's views are not clear on Lockheed's lucrative deal with its defective F-104 Starfighter sold to the German Government, leading to the deaths of 110 German NATO pilots - a scandal which fellow WWII veteran Erich Hartmann did however bravely speak out against, resulting in his forced resignation from the Luftwaffe.
For all his WWII Nazi involvement and outspoken post war antisemitism, Remer however, curiously apparently managed to avoid any MOSSAD attention, seemingly instead he was left for the zionist Anti-Defamation League to promote him as an example of the embodiment of evil. In that capacity the German Government sentenced Remer to 22 months jail for Holocaust Denial. Unrepentant, he was then released and able to be employed as a military adviser in Egypt, then was able to go into exile in fascist Spain (notably a brutal dictatorship sustained for decades by successive pro-zionist US and British Governments). Remer was then also able to live peacefully there for many years until he was 85, dying apparently of natural causes in 1997, whilst still facing further charges in Germany. As a final note, it should be remembered Remer is not known to have gone on the record criticising the scandal of Hitler's financing leading up to and during WWII, nor the huge profits that war generated.
