Editing Angelo van Noord (section)

=== Balkans, Romania and final posting ===
The Brandenburg regiment was expanded into ''Division Brandenburg'' during the period preceding 13 October 1944. Van Noord held ''Regimentsführer'' appointments in the 3rd and 1st Regiment "Brandenburg". He was promoted to ''Oberstleutnant'' and appointed ''Regimentskommandeur''.

In Greece, his formation operated around Thebes and Lamia before deployments to Leros, Samos, and Aliartos. In Yugoslavia, it operated around Šibenik and Zadar, followed by Grahovo and Skradin. Van Noord later fought near Betschkerek in Romania, where an injury ended his service with the Brandenburg formation.

Van Noord remained under hospital care until March 1945. His treatment included a period in Salzburg, after which he stayed in Jugenheim. From March until 8 May 1945, he served as a staff chief with the ''SS-Jagdverbände'' under ''SS-Obersturmbannführer'' Otto Skorzeny.

On 8 May 1945, van Noord destroyed his military identification book and obtained a forged ''Soldbuch'' under the name Uwe Tering. He later stated that he had done this to conceal his connection to the SS unit. While travelling toward his family in Jugenheim, he was injured in a car accident and remained in a hospital in Traunstein until July 1945. American authorities subsequently released him under the Uwe Tering identity.
