Huertgen. Info about 89. I.D. on Kommerscheidt

Post by Hauptmann Chema »

Hi guys.
I'm looking for information of this battle from German point of view, and I would like to know about real strenght of 1055th and 1056th regiments of 89th I.D. involved in this battle on Kommerscheidt and Kall trail on nov 4, 1944.

What about tanks supporting the attack? . I know about I/16 Pz Rgt/116 Pz D. How many tanks on this battle?

Thanks in advance.
