Hi Glyndower, I believe von dem Bach in a communication with Himmler gave German losses as about 1,525 dead but this may not include the auxilary formations. Not 1,525 KIA, but 1570 - 73 KIA officers, 1453 KIA NCOs and soldiers, 44 KIA foreigners in German Army, 242 WIA officers, 7,054 WIA NCOs and ...

I'm almost sure that 'dywizjon rozpoznawczy' should be translated as 'reconaissance battalion'. In cavalry units 'dywizjon' consisted of 2 'szwadrony' - squadrons. 2 'dywizjony' formed regiment. I'll look into it after work in Nowak's Dywizjon Rozpoznawczy 10 Brygady Kawalerii 1938-1939 Hi Njorl, Y...
