Re: Army group C order of battle December 1944

"Teile" means "part of", so Teile 148 means part of the 148th Div. was present. You are correct about "ohne". Best wishes.

Hello Gerard!! AST probably stands for "Abwehrstelle", the regional Abwehr office. I. H. is more of a mystery to me!! Best wishes.
