Picture
Lino Masarie was born on the 10 October 1912 in Nurnburg, he volunteered to join the SS and was posted to the 3.SS-Panzer-Division "Totenkopf". 

Despite his Italian surname he was considered German in all respects with his birth place being that of Nuremberg.

He was in command of the 1st Company, 3rd SS Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion, before taking over command of the Reconnaissance Battalion in 1942. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross while in command of this Battalion in April 1943.

In February, 1943 the Division commander, Theodor Eicke was killed. He set out in his Fieseler “Storch” and his plane was shot down by enemy small arms and anti-aircraft fire at approximately 1640 hours.  

On 27, Feb. 1943, Max Simon ordered a search for the remains of Eicke and the others in his destroyed Fieseler Storch; a group consisting of two assault guns, three armored cars, and two motorcycle contingents under SS-Hauptsturmführer Arzelino "Lino" Masarie was dispatched at 0515 hours to recover the bodies. Eicke’s remains were retrieved, under heavy fire.
