Kelvin,
Without the original Pz Lage scan I would hesistate to draw any conlusive vehicle descriptions and/or numbers from my hand scrawled notes. I suspect my transcription is faulty in the extreme.

Cheers

Prit,
As this is a pet interest area of mine, I look forward with great anticipation to the publication of your book! I trust you will keep the forum updated as the release date draws closer.

Cheers & Best wishes for its completion

Kelvin,

I do have some hand written notes For HG 1 from the same source but with the caveat emphasised in Martin''s response earlier in the thread. My notes are possibly error-riddled. Once I decipher my original scrawl I'll post it for 'vivisection'.

Cheers

Abicht,

Any tantalising titbits about what is your book's topic/focus etc.

Cheers & best wishes with breaking into the published author ranks.

Abicht,
Sorry to hear that the project has taken over your day to day life. From a totally self centered (read selfish) point of view, I trust a future review may possibly lead you to recommence the project down the tract!

Cheers

Thanks Martin, that more than clears it up!

Cheers

Just perusing a copy of Walter Dunn's "Soviet Blitzkreig: The Battle for White Russia,1944" where he makes a comment about PzG.Div 'FHH' providing 'the cadre' for Pz.Rgt.16 of 116th Pz.Div! Although the book is generally well footnoted with sources, this little titbit is frustratingly not ...

Still reading and enjoying the developing spectacle....from the relative safety of cyberspace & a lot warmer tempurature than Bad Frostberg!


Cheers

That would be a 'no'!. The notes were from a Lage/report for self propelled weapons ('Sfl') so no towed weapons are listed in it. I take it the organisational scans posted on the 'Fs-Pz-Korps Hermann Goering' thread on Axis History forum showing the status of the Korps and its 2 constituent division...

In reality, when HG 1 Shifted south with HQ 'GD' Pz Korps after 13th Jan'45, the Fs.Pz.Jg.Abt 'HG' (weak as it was -18 JPz's I think) of Fs.pz.Korps 'HG' remained with HG 2 effectively giving it 2 'armoured' detachments.

cheers

Check out the website for 'Luftwaffe Homepage'/ground units which state that the StuG unit for HG 2 was a new formation. HG 2 did not have a nominal Pz.Jag.Abt - possibly a quirk of Luftwaffe TO/E's. A similiar situation existed for HG 1 where before the StuG unit was detached, it technically formed...

Abicht,
My main interest is in anything around Jan'45 for East Prussia & Poland (Army groups 'Mitte' and 'A'). However Like GaryD I like anything from the eastern Front!

Cheers

Abicht, I'm sure there are alot of follow forum members out there that really appreciate you making these maps available at what ever schedule you can manage. I for one am more than prepared to be patient and wait till my relevant time period of interest arrives - how many more sleeps till Christmas...

I have not read Doug's book so I can't comment on that aspect.

Cheers
