Schmidt joined the SS in 1935 and was posted to the III. Battalion, SS-Standarte ‘Germania’. He was later selected to become an officer, attending the SS-Junkerschule at Bad Tölz. Upon graduation he was promoted to SS-Untersturmführer (Second Lieutenant). He returned to the ‘Germania’ as a platoon commander in the 4th Company, in time for the Polish Campaign. After that campaign he was given command of the Panzerspähzuges (Armoured car platoon) in the SS-VT Division, serving with them over the Battle of France. In June 1941 he was posted to the Wiking Division, and took part in the invasion of Russia, Operation Barbarossa. On 9 April he was awarded the German Cross in Gold and was given command of the III. Battalion of SS-Regiment ‘Westland’ in the SS-Division “Wiking”. Schmidt was awarded the Knight's Cross for his battalion's successful defense in the Izium sector. He then succesfully lead his battalion out of the Cherkassy-pocket, for which he was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer (Captain) and was awarded the Oak leaves to his Knight's Cross. He was also a recipient of the Close Combat Clasp in Silver. In November 1944 Schmidt was promoted again to SS-Sturmbannführer (Major) and returned to the SS-Junkerschule in January 1945 as an instructor. In March 1945, he was given command of the 96. SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment in the 38. SS-Grenadier-Division “Nibelungen”, which was formed, from the most part, from staff and students from the SS-Junkerschule. The regiment surrendered to the American forces on the 8 May 1945. Schmidt survived the war and died on the 28 July 2000 in his home town of Bremen in Germany, at age 83. <img src="https://scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/bd676016b4902cfe83106bdc5af72dc3/5C746839/t51.2885-15/e35/44615373_201624024101076_8399043013883943864_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTkxNzU2NzA1ODE4NTExNTA4NQ%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/f1ecefa3cabcf6e08139a92b7c156572/5CABA27A/t51.2885-15/e35/44844607_559711074496943_3732812394170699498_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTkxNzU2NzA1ODIwMTg1NTI5OA%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dutch volunteers of the SS-Regiment “Westland” (SS-Division “Wiking”) looking at some art, during a visit to a museum in Munich, Germany, January 1941 <img src="https://scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/054f69ef5c203182f24fb88365017ae0/5C7B417D/t51.2885-15/e35/44580646_308616766641823_7524269957849031799_n.jpg?se=7&ig_cache_key=MTkxNDYwNTA4NzgzNTg3MjA2Ng%3D%3D.2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
