Hi Janusz,

I looked up Sicherungs Battalion 994/995 but can find no trace of them, so perhaps I was wrong. Where are you getting this unit information from? Is it from Feldpost material? Can you give us any other clues?

[Lorenz]

Janusz may mean Landesschützen-Btl. 994 and 995. Both were formed in July 1941 in the Generalgouvernement with 3 Kompanien each by renaming Wach-Btle. I. and II./Kommandantur Krakau, these having been raised just a month earlier. Both battalions remained in and around Kraków where they suffered severe losses in January 1945. In March 1945 the remnants of 994 were in western Hungary and the remnants of 995 were in Frankfurt/M. being disbanded.

That makes sense to me Lorenz. Landschutz Batt was going to be my next suggestion, but was hoping for some clarification from Janusz.
