Hello
May I know Your source regarding v.Bosse 2-3.45 Fhr. 1.kos.Kav.Div. ?
I have (from v.Pannwitz´s Biogr. and Div.history) v.Baath until 2.45 (until which day exactly ?) then Wagner (he was in command on 25.2, on which day did he exactly take over command ?) until 5.45. So, if this is correct, when was v.Bosse Fhr., only shortly in Febr. between v.Baath and Wagner or only shortly in March (or later) ? Thanks for Your comments.
