Hi people, can anyone help me in these researches? I’m interested in the exact lay-down of these two German units along the Rzhev arch between end February – begin March 1943. According my sources the 102. ID stayed in the Osuga area until mid-January 1943. In March 1943, at eve of “Büffel” movement...

Hello, I'm searching information about Karlheinz Muench's book "The combat history of German heavy anti-tank unit 654 in WWII". According to various sources this work contains 200 text pages and the last three battalion's war diaries. About it, how many pages are devoted to combat actions ...

Dear eric, many thanks for the "tip-off"! :wink: The bad experience of 101. Pz.Gren.Rgt. during "Zitadelle" resumes all the bitterness of 18. Pz.Div.'s involvement in the battle for Kursk. And perhaps the real cause of the Fleischauer's replacement is in these data: on 8 July 194...

Hi Eric, many thanks again! I think the reason of Fleischauer's replacement was the low combat burst of 101. Pz.Gren.Rgt. (on 8 July the 101. had others difficulties!) In effect, the 18. Pz.Div.'s KTB "Zitadelle" mentions no one injury for this commander on 8 July 1943 and generally a such...

Hi ericv, many thanks for the information! As you wrote, Fleischauer was replaced on 8 July 1943. Can I know in wath circumstances ? And was her perhaps replaced by major Petersen ? I ask you this because the 18. PzDiv's KTB mentions often a "Rgt. Petersen" in the period 11-13 July 1943 (a...

Hello people, I have a "little" problem with the Oberst Paul Fleischauer. This Wehrmacht officer was awarded with the DKiG on March 24, 1945 as commander of the Pz.Gren.Rgt.3. I would know if it's the same Oberst (or Oberstleutenant ? - it's another problem) Fleischauer which led the Pz.Gr...

Hello people, this message is particularly addressed to the Russian friends. I'm searching a Georgij Semenovic Nadysev's manuscript, titled "Artilleristy Tsentral'nogo fronta v bojach za Rodinu", writed by the author in 1943 and published by Voenizdat the following year. Can anyone provide...

Hi GaryD,

many thanks for the help. I will try in this direction.

Hello people, this message is addressed particularly to Russian friends. I'm searching the n. 7 (month: July) and n. 8 (month: August)/1982 of the "Voenno Medizinskij Zhurnal". I'm interested in the V.A. Bukov's articles:"Experience with medical provisions for the 13th Army at the bat...

Hi trollelite,

many, many thanks for the information.

Best regards

Hi trollelite, thanks a lot for the news! If it's possible, I would read the list with the commanders' names. Though it dates from February 1943, this list can provide a starting point for further researches. Moreover, can I know against what russian division fought the 258. ID from 5 to 12-15 July ...

Hi trollelite, many thanks for the answer. I respect your decision. It's right. If possible, I would like to know the number of pages devoted to "Zitadelle" and the divisional OoB with the commanders' name. You can send me a PM as reply. Many thank again for the help. Best regads Sauvant :D

Hello people, can anybody help me with this book? I'm searching it for an important work about "Zitadelle", but till now all my attempts to find it have been unsuccessfully. I'm interested in the third volume and only in the pages devoted to the Kursk battle. Many thanks in advance for you...

Hi Panzerass,

many thanks for the news. The meeting with von Kluge is very interesting. Was it about "Zitadelle"?

Thanks again and best regards.

Hi Panzerass, many thanks for the reply. Your post contains a lot of interesting points. So the conference took part in the Braunes Haus. Very, very well. However, the data of the 1 July 1943 is odd. Perhaps this problem could be solved if we know what did Manstein and Stahlberg in May. What do you ...
