Hi Leo, Marko, David!!! Today turned out to be a wonderful day - first a SUPERB post by Leo (a huge thanks for posting this data!!! You've helped me a lot with this info!), and then 10 MBs of scanned pages of the 298. Inf Div history from the Comissar - just great! I will dig myself into this data a...

Hi,

I'm looking for any info about Luftwaffe units that were present at Kantemirowka during 12/42 to 1/43.

So far, I have got only one, LuNa Abt 130.

Any data on this and other units, as well as the airfield defense at Kantemirowka would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Abel

Hi Marko, a deep bow Your note!!! You are right - I have just found a mention of LuNa Abt 130 being still present at Fl.Pl. Kantemirowka on 30/12/42 (Lw loss records). Most probably the city itself was lost to the Soviet earlier, but resistance continued at the airfield - a new and fascinating issue...

Hi Jason, thanks for pointing to Your site, but I am already a great fan and user of Panzerkeil. Nice job with this site! On the other hand, I am firmly convinced that the s.PzJg Abt B had existed already during the second half of 1942, in contradiction to what is written at Your site. Is there any ...

Hi David, Marko, and all! A few days ago, I've recieved scanned pages from Knobelsdorff's 19. Pz Div unit history, kindly e-mailed to me by David (thanks again!). After reading myself through it, sadly, I have to note, that there is not a single mention about Tschertkowo, the 298. Infanterie Divisio...

Hi Lorenz,

thanks for the input. I'll try and acquire some of those resources to get a better view on -to me very obscure- battle at Rossosh.

Thanks again,
Best,

Abel


P.S. please see Your PM.

Hi Loic,

this link should answer Your question.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

let me second the query!

Any info on the schw. PzJg Abt B is also wanted and appreciated!!!

Thanks (and sorry for mis-using this thread),

Abel

Hi Lorenz, thank You very much for this input! You've solved this mystery in no time and have provided me with all of the info I needed! Thanks! But reading Your post, another thing jumped up in my mind. I have noticed, that a very high number of Luftwaffe battalions (Luftwaffen-Bau-Bataillon 4./IV,...

Hi Lorenz, thanks for the swift reply. This request below is the only document to mention the unit, let's see what do we get from it. 3. Ab 20.11.1942 bzw. ab 05.12.1942 bis 14.10.1943 wurde mein Vater nach Charkow zur 2./Luftnachrichten Funkhorchabteilung Don versetzt (evtl. war diese der Heeresgru...

Hi, I'm looking for any and every data about a certain Luftwaffen Feld Bataillon Klass. This unit is quoted to be fought at Starobelsk attached to the 19. Pz Div. The unit commander was a Major Klass, and the battalion existed 12/42 to 2/43. Could be connected with Lw Feld Div 2, but that is suspici...

Hi Marko, Thanks, for the source. To be fair Stoves mentions this designation - Schn.Abt.127 - only once and uses Pz.Jäg.Abt.127 throughout the text. So it could be either way. I have recieved a PM today noting that Tessin has it the way as the LDW website - I cannot countercheck this, for I don't o...

Hi Marko, nice new name for this thread! Sorry for diverting the subject of this topic but it just seemed appropriate to talk about the battle at Chertkovo where three of these obscure units had fought. Interesting, do you have a source for this? My understanding (and according to Stoves) is that th...

Hi Marko, let me answer the point raised by You first, then give You some extra data on the units involved. Schn.Abt 127 is the incorrect designation of the PzJg Abt 127 (renaming occured 2/12/42). Thanks. How could I've missed this one? How do you mean incorrect? I mean that in fact, the Schn Abt w...

Hi, have just found an extra bit on Panzerkeil. Panzerjäger-Abteilung 654 (mot.)
