Hello there, Another question about the third infantry regiment of the 90. Leichte Division in North Africa... This regiment was raised on January 27th 1941 as Regimentsstab z.b.V. 200 to serve under Sperrverband Libyen command (later 5. Leichte Division/21. Panzer Division). It performed first as r...

Concerning the Pionier Bataillon (motorisiert) 900, could one of you guys tell me when it was officially subordinated to 90. Leichte Division (or whatever name this unit had at this time) ? I found that the main part of the battalion was airlanded between May 21st and May 26th 1941, and that the rem...

Well, I'm happy because I found a great page concerning this unit, even if it was well hidden ;) http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de/Div%20Afrika.htm Jan-Hendrik was right : http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de is a great source, especially when http://www.lexikonderwehrmacht.de doesn't have the inform...

Hello, Looking for information about this Schützen Regiment 155, I found the following elements on http://www.lexikonderwehrmacht.de : "Aufgestellt am 7. Juni 1941 durch den WK IX zunächst nur der Stab aus dem Schützen-Ersatz-Bataillon 1. Das Regiment unterstand der 90. leichten Afrika-Division...

Hello Feldgrauians, Does anyone have information about this unit which became 90. Leichte Division end November 1941 ? I just want to know : 1) when it was raised (Tessin indicates that 90. Leichte Division was raised on "26.11.1941 in Afrika aus dem am 26.6.1941 errichteten Stab Divisions-Komm...

Wonderful. A huge thank, Leo, it has been a couple of weeks since I worked on this without being able to find an explanation for the I./Gren. Rgt. 108. Now you told me that it was the I./Pz. Gren. Rgt. 108, it makes more sense ;) Thanks again for your help and all your work here. Truly yours, Loïc P...

Martin, June 23rd 1943 is a day that is hightlighted frequently to qualify the moment when the Infanterie Divisionen (motorisierte) became Panzergrenadier Divisionen : http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Panzergrenadierdivisionen/10PGD.htm http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederunge...

Well, I believe you, I don't speak German at all, so... But this is written "Schnelle Truppen" in this German page : http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/inhaltsverzeichnisGliederungH.htm I know, I know, this is nominative, and in "Inspektion der Schnellen Truppen", this is geniti...

Waw ! Wonderful, Martin ! Exactly what I needed. The last order, issued on May 19th 1943, is somewhat confusing to me, because I read - excellent sources state that - that this order was given on June 23rd 1943. Do you think it was issued on May 19th and became effective on June 23rd, even if there ...

Ron, Martin,

Thanks a lot for your help. This helps a lot.
Very best regards from France,

Loïc

Excellent Leo. Nothing to ask about these battalions, this time ;) I take advantage of your presence in this thread to ask if you have something about the tradition links of two regimental battalions which were "jägerized" on June 11th 1943 (I./Gren. Rgt. 2 and II./Gren. Rgt. 4). And also ...

You're right, Jan-Hendrik, my mistake ;) According to http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de : raised from 386. Infanterie Division (motorisiert) on March 1st 1943, became 3. Panzergrenadier Division on June 23rd 1943. Damn, the next time, I'll do it properly and I'll check both websites, I promise ! ;)...

Hello, Could someone tell me when exactly was re-created this division destroyed in the Stalingrad pocket in January 1943 ? And when exactly it became a Panzergrenadier Division ? http://www.lexikonderwehrmacht.de indicates only that it was raised in March 1943 as a Panzergrenadier Division, which s...

You're right, even if the German divisional numbering system was more logical than it seems at first glance.

Anyway, your source is very good, so I have no reason to discuss it

Thanks again for your help,
Best regards,

Loïc
