TRUPPENTEIL. 5./GREN.RGT.1
My uncle served in this unit as a unteroffizer he was killed at Kirow near Leningrad in 1943, anyone know what division this was?
Re: TRUPPENTEIL. 5./GREN.RGT.1
5th Kompanie Grenadier Regiment 1 - part of 1st Grenadier Division, served almost exclusively on the Eastern front and decimated during this time. Any more info you can provide may clinch it for sure.

Hello
Just a small addition/correction.. Grenadier Regiment 1 was part of the 1.Infanteriedivision. While the regimetns were renamed from Infanterie- to Grenadier the division was not. Just saying that as he will not find info on a Grenadier Division 1.

Thanks Christoph, that was my deliberate typo of the day! I meant 1st Infanterie Division.
Many thanks for alerting me to the error!
