Rzhev 1943 – 102nd and 252nd German infantry divisions.
Posted: Mon May 25, 2009 6:16 am
Hi people,
can anyone help me in these researches? I’m interested in the exact lay-down of these two German units along the Rzhev arch between end February – begin March 1943.
According my sources the 102. ID stayed in the Osuga area until mid-January 1943. In March 1943, at eve of “Büffel” movement, this unit was likely at east or south-east of Sychevka, but I have some doubts about it.
As for 252. ID the sources are a bit contradictory. In fact, one of these shows the division’s sector just at east of Gshatsk, another source reports it at south of town and just at east of Gshatsk places on the contrary the 35. ID.
Many thanks in advance for any information about it.
Best regards
Sauvant
