Hello: In Knigts of Steel Volume I page 112, it’s stated that the I.Abteilung of the “Das Reich” returned to Germany to be refitted with Panther tanks prior to the March battles to recapture Kharkov. But in Panzertruppen Vol II it’s stated the order was given on 1 May 1943, that’s after the Kharkov ...

Thanks for your reply Andy There is a thing that it is a little contradictory to me, If as the text says “The events in Tulle were covered by the Hague Convention” how can be that Heinz Lammerding, Aurel Kowatsch, Otto Hoff and Heinrich Wulf, were condemned if they acted according with the norms of ...

Hello list: I have read the thread about Oradour and there are a lot of information, but along with Oradour massacre it is almost always mentioned the Tulle hangings. My questions are: Were the Tulle hangings considered at the time a war crime, or were they considered a legitimate reprisal? If it wa...

Hello: Eric you must add one Sanitater per Zug, (listed as Krankentrager, I suppose his duties were of proportionate first aid to the wounded am I correct?), and add the drivers to each Zug the number can vary according to the Kstn 1114 there are six of them, I suppose the number can vary depending ...

Kstn 1114 For the Motorized companies? Kstn 1114 (gp) For the Mechanized companies? Both are dated 1-11-1941 so I suppose those Kstn’s were in use in July 1943 as the next ones, Kstn 1114 (mot) is dated 1-11-1943 and 1114b (gp) (fg) is dated 1-8-1944. So, the company organization of the combat eleme...

Hello: I was reading a very interesting topic about the German small unit organization before WAR.

Thank you for the link Leo, I have now a more clear picture of the German recruiting and training system.

Hello: Excuse me if im making a silly question :? but in some other post I have read about two units with the same number (SS 12) coexisting at the same time in the same place (Holland)but one was an Ausbildungs und Ersatz Bataillon and the other was a Feld Ersatz Bataillon, please can someone clari...

Hello: I am looking for some information about my granfathers unit. Some time ago I tryed to trace the movements of my Grandfathers unit who I believed was the Frontaufklärungstruppe 210 (im not sure if the name is correct) it seems my grandfathers give me the designation they were told to give in c...

I noticed that during December 3, 1940 - January 27, 1941 the name for the divission was “Deutschland” so I assume the designation SS-Ers.-u.Ausb.-Btl.Deutschland is for the Division’s Ersatz Battalion at that time. I found that the designation for the LSSAH Ersatz Battalion is: SS-Pz. Gren. Ausb. u...

Hello: I posted this topic some days ago in the unit history section with no results :( , so I decided maybe it is more correct to put it on the WSS section. Im looking for the feldpost number from the 1st. Komp. Deutschland Regiment in Late 1942 and middle 1943. I need to know also the designation ...
