I have been researching my Grandfather's service history with C Company, 4th Parachute Battalion, 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade. His Company was invloved in the attack on the Chateau Les Serres in Le Muy on the 15th August 1944 (https://www.operation-dragoon.com/histo ... es-serres/).

Does anyone have any info on the possible German units stationed there at the time or could point me in the direction of getting that info? I am trying to write a History for my Father of his Father's service and I would like it to be as complete as possible.

Many thanks in advance?

Thanks John, greatly appreciated

Hello: Obviously my intent to "get back to you soon" has been somewhat derailed Let me see what I can find this weekend!!

In general the German forces your Grandfather fought against were probably from the 148th Reserve Division or the 242nd ID. There is also a good chance he was fighting against landsers assigned to LXII Armee Korps Headquarters. I am continuing to work on this to see if I can be more specific. Best wishes.

Thanks John for your reply. 242nd ID seems the best fit as I found out that G.R. 765 was garrisoned at Le Muy.
