15th Panzergrenadier Division
Hello. I'm an author working on a book about the First Special Service Force and the capture of Monte la Difensa. I'm trying to find first-hand accounts of German soldiers of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division who fought on Difensa, in particular members of the III/104 Panzer Grenadier Regiment and the 115th Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion (Panzer Aufklarung Abteiling 115). If anyone could help me with this - by putting me in touch with veterans or pointing me in the direction of documents or books - I'd be very grateful. You can reply to this post or contact me direct on my email: [email protected] Thank you. My website is: www.sauldavid.co.uk

I should add that the battle for Monte la Difensa - part of the German Winter Line in southern Italy - was fought in early December 1943.
