Hey Stauffenberg ! No, you pointed another thing : the change of the regimental designation from a named regiment (Inf. Rgt. Lübeck) to a numbered regiment (6. Inf. Rgt). But I asked for the change from a numbered regiment (6. Inf. Rgt) to another numbered regiment, but under another form (Inf. Rgt....

I checked to my sources, and I found 22. Infanterie Division created as "Kommandant von Bremen" on October 1st 1934 too. So, I think the process of forming of this unit began at this time. But I saw "Wehrgauleitung Bremen" nowhere... Concerning the 23. and 24. Infanterie Division...

Thanks for your answers. Several important elements went to knowledge thanks to your posts... Nevertheless - sorry if I don't understand anything - there are still some dark points : - thanks to the links provided by Stauffenberg, I found that Kortzfleisch was commander of the 1. Inf. Div. from Febr...

Hello ! I think the 23. and 24. Infanterie Divisionen were built with disbanded Landespolizei units. They didn't need a long process to be raised, only a reconversion of other units. So they're not so problematic in my opinion. But the case of the 22. is very hard to understand. This unit existed be...

Hello all ! I'm looking for information about this unit. I have several blanks in my database, it would be great to find someone able to fill them ;-) First, concerning the commanders of the 1. Infanterie Division : - When General Major (then General Leutnant) Walter Schroth left his command ? Janua...

Hey Jason, Sorry to disturb you again, but there are still some blanks in my schemes. Some regiments lack to my charts : - 4. Infanterie Division : Inf. Rgter 10, 52 and ??? - 7. Infanterie Division : Inf. Rgter 19, 40 and ??? - 10. Infanterie Division : Inf. Rgter 20, 41 and ??? - 14. Infanterie Di...

Really great ! Thanks Jason. It is very useful. I could check my lists now ;-) Concerning your last statement "When you have all this info pulled together would you be so kind as to provide me with copies to assist with my oob research as well? It would mean a lot!". There is no problem. P...

Hello Jason ! Thank you for your reply. It answers all I needed. Concerning the cover names and the signification of Wehrgauleitung, that's ok. But I have a lot of problems with the composition of the 22 first prewar infantry divisions. I have the following OBs on October 15th 1935 (with 72 regiment...

Hello all, I need information about some of theses 22 units (from 1. to 22.), raised on October 15th 1935. I have some problems to know what was the filiation and the cover names for four of them : - 6. Infanterie Division : [b]what was the regiment used as its nucleus during the process of forming ...

Hello all ! I posted this question a couple of weeks ago, but nobody answered me. I hope I'll have more success this time ;-) I have some figures for this unit on the eve of operation "Husky". Just before the landing of 7th US Army and 8th UK Army in Sicily, Panzer Division "HG" ...

Hello all ! I'm not used to study Luftwaffe units, but this time, Pz. Div. "HG" fights in Sicily look very interesting. First, I'm looking for the figures of this unit on July 10th 1943, just before the 1st US Infantry Division landing near Gela. I have only some figures about tanks streng...

Hello Christoph ! Good to see you. I knew that point, even if I don't understand really what a Grenadier Division is "stronger" than an Infanterie Division. But it's maybe because I'm French... :D It seems to have changed at different time in the war for these abreviations. For instance, a...

Hello all ! I try to understand something about German divisional OBs, especially for a Panzer Division. In the late Pz. Div., several divisional units are "Panzer" (Pionier Bataillon, Aufklärungs Abteilung, Artillerie Regiment). But in the early, it is common to see the term "(Motori...

Jerry, you're amazing, really... This is a great luck to have you on this forum. I'm asking myself what I could do without you... ;-) Roger, no problem for the mistake, my question was not very understandable. Sorry, my bad English is guilty. I think I have all I need concerning divisional commander...

Another thing : Jerry, you told "Oberst Eberhard von Nostitz", whereas I have Oberst Gustav-Adolf Von Nostitz-Wallwitz. Could you tell me if there is a confusion between two persons of the same family or if I'm wrong concerning his first name ? Roger, I agree with your statement about gent...
