Konopka and 2nd RAD'Friedrich Ludwig Jahn' division 1945

[battalionsfuhrer tiburzy]

Hi to all!

I was wondering if anyone knows if 2nd RAD div. was involved in combat. My wermacht aux. forces book from osprey states that this div. served west of berlin march 1945, also states Konopka was in charge of a regiment within this div. I need to know where div. was in combat and what name of regiment konopka lead? Thank you very, very much!!
