Hello,

If I recall correctly Kgr. Chill isn't a Falschirmjäger unit, but was merely the remainder of Inf. Div. 85.

Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 was part of Kampfgruppe Chill

- 719 Infantrie division = Generalleutnant Karl Sievers
- 711 Infantrie division = Generalleuntnant Josef Reichert
- 346 Infantrie division = Generalleutnant Diestel
- Sturmgeschutz Brigade 280 = Major Kurt Kühme
- Schwere Flakabteilung 559 ?
- 70 Infantrie division = Generalleutnant Daser
- 64 Infantrie division = Generalmajor Eberding
- 245 Infantrie division = Generalleutnant Sander
- Kampfguppe Chill = General Kurt Chill
- 712 Infanterie Division = Generalleutnant Neumann

Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 was part of Kampfgruppe Chill

von der Heydte/Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 6 was the Kampfgruppe Chill "taktisch Unterstellt".

Recommended read (!) for the dutch readers amongst us is: Brabant Bevrijd, by Maarten Zwarts and Jack Didden.

well apart from the Stab , a part of the artillery regiment and the nachtrichten truppe, every other unit was "unterstellt" as the 85 I.D. did not exist anymore by that time....

[Ruud Wilmsen]

I think Schwere Flakabteilung 559 refers to
sPzJgAbt 559 commanded by Maj Sattler

There didn't exist a Schwere Flakabteilung 559
only a scheinwerfer Abt.

are the same??

- 719 Infantrie division
- 346 Infantrie division
- Schwere Flakabteilung 559
- 245 Infantrie division
- Fallschirmjäger Regiment (called Kg Chill)

Thnx Buck

KG SCHILL was created out of the remnants of 85 Inf division and stragglers picked up at the Albert-canal.
Commander was the commander of the 85. Inf Division Gen. Kurt Schill
When the Allies broke through at Neerpelt 17 sept 1944
Fallschirmjager regiment 6 (commander Oberstleutnant August von der Heydte) was transferred to KG Schill.
For composition of KG Schill see

The book "Tug OF War" by Denis Whitaker has pictures of Von der Heydte, Eberding and Daser.
