Re: Strength of 10. Panzergrenadier-Division in July 43

Hello Igorn !

(sorry, no more details of which type a...

Re: conversion of Div Nr 176

Hello MadDog ! Sorry, my fault :( ! I was assuming you wanted confirmation on the last sentence of 2.) paragraph of your first post ! But I should have asked for that of course :roll: ! One more on this subject- I think this is the last: Auffüllung der 176., 180. und 190. ID. auf Inf.Div.44 oder Vol...

Re: conversion of Div Nr 176

Hello MadDog ! I think the full sentence has to be translated as follows : 2.) HrsGp.B. therefore requests the replenishment of the 176., 180. and 190. ID. to either Inf.Div.44 or Volks-Gren.Div. from the B.d.E. The extraction of training personnel in exchange is possible. I understand the context i...

Re: Officer training in the Wehrmacht?

Hello B Hellqvist ! I saw your interesting post, and maybe, as a german speaker, I can give you some help. First, your translation of the different timeframes is basically correct. The regulations for officer training changed during the war and from within the pdf-document it is not clear when, so y...

Re: conversion of Div Nr 176

Hello MadDog ! The almost literal translation (as far as my english allows) : Heeresgruppe B has requested (=beantragt) from the BdE (Befehlshaber des Ersatzheeres) the replenishing of 180. ID, 190. ID, and of 176. ID up to (the strength of an) ID 44, or a VGD. Fallschirm AOK 1 is ordered to give ma...

Re: "Sonderelbe IM"

Hello Erik ! It seems Sonderelbe is simply a codename for a special Führererlass, allowing to relieve specialists, which where important for the armament industry, from frontline-duties, exactly as in the example you found on the web. It might be, that the two letters following Sonderelbe are a code...

Re: Rzhev 1943 – 102nd and 252nd German infantry divisions.

Hello to all ! Maybe, I can add some info: On the first of the following two maps you can find the positions of both divisions at Feb. 12., 1943. This should remain the same until the start of operation "Büffel", but I have no exact informations on this. The Maps are from Op.Abt. OKH, so t...

Re: The Caucasus campaign 1942-1943

Hello dennisb ! I accidently run across your post and maybe I can give you some information. At 25th of September 1942 the 97. Jg.Div. was with the XXXXIV. Jg.Kps roughly 50 km SW of Maikop, taking part in the attack towards Tuapse. So I don't think your Feldwebel Spegt was with that division (Tieke...
