'''Juan Jose Grenillon''' (21 July 1961 - 10 November 2024), also known as '''Teler''', '''Viezerik''', and '''Sexleiter''', was an Argentine military commander, convicted criminal, and propagandist associated with the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. He served in the [[3rd Waffen SS Panzer Division Die Palme]], the [[Allgemeine SS]], and later the [[Féminas-abteilung Nacional de Eef Paap]] (FNdEP), where he held the rank of [[Gruppenführer]].

== Early life ==
Grenillon was born on 21 July 1961 in [[Merlo]], [[Argentina]]. During his childhood, he frequently vacationed in Italy and grew up around people affiliated with the SS. His early life was also affected by his abusive father.

Grenillon initially wanted to become a businessman in the wine industry. He later turned toward military service after seeing a path for advancement within the SS. On his eighteenth birthday, he joined the [[3rd Waffen SS Panzer Division Die Palme]]. During his early military career, he served in several locations, including parts of Africa. His postings included [[Botswana]], [[Namibia]], and [[Zimbabwe]], territories under the jurisdiction of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]].

After service in the Waffen SS, Grenillon transferred to the [[Allgemeine SS]]. He joined the [[10th Allgemeine SS Division Aconcagua]] after reaching the rank of Untersturmführer. His record in the Allgemeine SS later drew the attention of recruiters for the [[Féminas-abteilung Nacional de Eef Paap]] in 1998.

== Military career ==
Grenillon's military career spanned several decades. His exact enlistment record was later obscured by alleged bribery involving the [[Sicherheitsdienst von Eef Paap]] (SDvEP), a security agency under the control of [[Eef Paap]].

In 1998, Grenillon joined the [[Féminas-abteilung Nacional de Eef Paap]] after the department was established. His work in the organization led to his promotion to [[Gruppenführer]]. Within the FNdEP, he helped oversee recruitment, selection, and administrative operations tied to Eef Paap's breeding programs.

By 2021, Grenillon held the rank of Gruppenführer within the FNdEP. The department's own structure placed operational leadership under senior commanders, including [[Massimo Leonidas Cepedà]] and Grenillon. They oversaw the implementation of national directives and regional compliance within territories controlled by the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]].

=== Other activities ===
In 2006, Grenillon and [[Massimo Leonidas Cepedà]] proposed reviving the [[Reichsvilla]] plan to [[Eef Paap]]. The proposal was intended to create a more organized branch within the regime. Paap considered the proposal but rejected it two weeks later. Grenillon and Cepedà were instead given a new office in [[Belfort]].

== Propaganda work ==
Grenillon also produced propaganda videos for branches of the [[Allgemeine SS]], including the FNdEP. The material promoted the ideology and objectives of the regime under Eef Paap's leadership.

== Criminal history ==
Grenillon was convicted of corruption in 2010 after misappropriating resources and selling valuable assets, including three golden crowns belonging to the FNdEP. He was sentenced to prison but released in January 2011. His release was reportedly ordered at the request of Obergruppenführer [[Massimo Leonidas Cepedà]], who cited organizational problems inside the agency.

In late 2022, Grenillon allegedly killed the pregnant girlfriend of [[Martinez Alberto Fritz]] in front of him. The killing was reportedly connected to Eef Paap's demand for Fritz's girlfriend. Grenillon was said to have been unaware that she was pregnant.

== Personal life ==
Grenillon has been described as manipulative and was known by the nicknames "Teler", "Viezerik", and "Sexleiter". He was also known for presenting a genial public manner while engaging in corrupt and abusive conduct. His known food preference was leather burgers.

Grenillon expressed opposition to the capture of the Falklands during the [[Tanoan Conquest of the Falklands|Second Falkland War]]. He stated that the Falklands should have been given to Italy because, in his view, Italy would know what to do with the Malvinas.

== Death ==
On 10 November 2024, Grenillon was killed in [[Luganville]], eastern [[Tanoa]], during an ambush by [[Mark Hugerinus Paap]]. Mark had been informed by local residents that FNdEP forces had become active around the village. The unit was present for a briefing connected to the seizure and sexual assault of native girls, which had become one of the department's priorities during its final period.

Mark attacked the FNdEP group while operating alone and killed the guards from distance with an M24 sniper rifle. As the escort was eliminated, Grenillon fled into an abandoned house in the village. Mark followed him inside. Grenillon attempted to fire his Luger P08 pistol, but the weapon jammed. He then attacked Mark directly and struck the rifle out of his hands.

The two men fought inside the house. Mark overpowered Grenillon and slammed him against a wall before stabbing him in the chest and neck with a knife. Grenillon attempted to crawl away while badly wounded. Mark recovered his rifle and shot him twice in the head, killing him.

The killing was later recorded in [[Field diary of Mark Hugerinus Paap|Mark Hugerinus Paap's field diary]]. After the fight, Mark searched several of the dead soldiers for ammunition and supplies before leaving Luganville.

When Grenillon and the soldiers were found, the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] became more defensive. The deaths showed that the command structure was beginning to disintegrate. Security was tightened around vital areas, especially northern Tanoa and [[Ravi-Ta]].
