[kahl]

Can any tell me ditaled whereabouts for 15. Kompanie SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 36 RFSS, around August 44?

I can find alot of stuff regarding 16. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division „Reichsführer SS” in general. And 1-3 Btl.

BUT 15. Kompanie must be in the 4th btl if I am right? There are 4 kompanies in every btl. right? But I can not find any about a 4th btl? Nor 15. Kompanie SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 36.

In the NARA archives I fond;

Hi

I could be wrong but was the 15.th Coy of the regiment not the Regimental "Pioniere" Coy?
There were only 3 Btl, each had 4 Coys.
13th Coy would be Regimental canon Coy
14th FLAK Coy
15th Pioniere

As they were regimental troops with a certain speciality, they would be there where the Regiment assigned them.
If the regiment attacked, this Coy was assigned to the Btl (or remained under direct control of the regiment) where a break-through or demining was needed.
In the regimental defensive actions, this Coy was where the main effort of the enemy was expected (with task as: mining, creating obstacles, providing the troops with cover, participate as line-fighters if needed...)
So to find the whereabouts of this Coy you would need the regimental orders,
Cheers
Peter
