Once again your help has been invauable, Many thanks Martin.

Thats interesting. They were in operations with the 50 Inf Division (if what i have found is correct) so I wonder if that`s who would have given them arty support.

Larry

What did the Artillery Regt consist of at this time?

Thanks
Larry

Thanks Alan


Martin I have never placed a great amount of faith in Wiki but sometime it is a starting point

From what I have read the Pz Bn and the I/Pz Gdr Bn were the units that stopped the Soviet advance. Is this correct or where there other elements of FGB involved?

Hi Alan and Martin Many thanks for the replies. Those questions are answered thanks. So there was not a 3rd Pz Gdr Bn? I found out were I ran across my numbers initially posted, it was wiki and as much as I don't like to use them they were about the only info I could find http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Hi I am trying to confirm some numbers on what vehicles the FGB had prior to the Goldap operation in late '44. I don't remember where I found the info but this is what I have: 101 Pz Regt 1 Komp - 12 Panther 2 Komp - 12 Panther 3 Komp - 12 Panther 4 Komp - 11 JagdPanther 5 Komp - 11 StuG III 911 Stu...

I have another from a slightly different angle that I will add, when I find it..., that makes it more obvious that they are aboard a train. Don't know what the gun is tho sorry, could look it up I know but........ It appears to be a 2.8 cm schwere Panzerbüchse 41 (sPzB 41). Nice photo's by the way....

Scroll down to the Bundeswehr

One thing that did occur was the use of male uniforms to disguise Helferin while trying to flee or during the prisoner round ups/forced marches at the end of the war in the east.

Thanks Alan Not being able to read german is a failing I hope to rectify someday.....

Hi Ivan

I only have some basic books on the FJ and the usual books on the Battle of Berlin. No I don't have the book you mentioned.

I found Martin Block's quote from here:

http://forum.panzer-archiv.de/viewtopic ... sc&start=0

How ever I do not speak/read German

Thanks folks :up: I realized that there probably would not be much out there. I have been told that the book "Bloody Streets" has the entire Division with 6,758 soldiers with 8 Hetzers but no other details...... This quote from Martin Block was passed on to me The Jagdpz. 38 company with the 9. Fall...

Nobody?........

Hi

I am looking for information on what FJD9 had for vehicles - if any - and heavy weapons around the Seelow Heights time frame. These would be the unit's that were not at Breslau.

Many thanks for your time and help

Larry

It might be for a wound badge or the riding badge. I don't think it is for the EK otherwise he would have the ribbon for the EK2.
