I have recently purchased about 6 P.O.W. correspondence from a German prisoner held in France named Otto Kurth, they are all being sent to Leipzig Germanyfrom an unknown location. THe handwriting can hardly be read, it seems like he is writing to his wife. Does anybody knows who Otto Kurth was/is?

I know this question is going to seem stupid, but can anybody tell me what the function of Jäger Regiments was? And were they considered infantry units? I apologize for my ignorance on this matter and I would like to thank anybody that can help me in advance.

Thank you very much, so the tattoo is just the Gothic or Latin script of the blood type? I thought it was a standarsized type of tattoo, like a certain letter in Gothic or Latin script.

Does anybody have any pictures of teh Blutgruppe tattoo? I was curious as to what it looks like. Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give.

Sorry about this thread and thank you George for responding, as it turns out that was a book that information was gathered from not a Unit function. Once again I apologize for wasting all your time, I should have checked my sources better before I posted.

I was wondering if anybody could help me with the histories of teh following units: I./GrenRgt 117 DivGrp 255 - GrenRgt 248 (this specific unit in Infantry Division 255) JägRgt 749 I./schw. KavAbt 4 (mot.) I am looking for any info on these units anybody has, movement and involvement in specific com...

I wasn't sure where this belonged, but I was wondering if anybody could help me with the meaning of that. I am supposed to have a relative that was involved with that during the war and I have no idea what it is, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its not very likely, they were under armed as it was.

Wow thanks, that would be really great. I am looking for the XX. Army Corps under General der Artillerie Friedrich von Scholtz that fought at Tannenberg, and if possible more info on the 41. Inf Division Comanded by Generalleutnant Leo Sontag. Thank you again, if you could do that it would be really...

Does anybody know where there are some good WW1 German OOB sites? I am looking for one of Tannenberg for research, thank you in advance for any help.

http://www.ritterkreuztraeger-1939-45.de does not have every KC winner on it, if you compare the Feldgrau archive to that site you will see many KC winners missing.

Could it be a Ghost division? I know there were a number of 'paper' divisions, ones that were on paper but didn't actually exist. I know a commander named Steiner or something like that had one such division and was ordered to releave the divisions protexting Berlin but was incapable of doing so.

would you be able to provide the original posts? I haven't heard of Skorzeny doing anything like that but I suppose it is possible. He was the leader of many oddball commando missions that had strange methods to them. Could you possibly be thinking of his Glider raids? Or possibly when some of his m...

Well as far as I know at the time Georgia was still part of the Soviet Union. So I would think that it would be counted as a statistic of the RUssian army as a whole.

What about Skorzeny's comando unit? Didn't they dress as Americans and go behind the lines to cause problems?
