Can anyone recommend a source where I can find the sub-units of SA Brigade 6 (Danzig)?

Many thanks,

Sid.

Hi Sid,

in an US intelligence doc listing the SA standarten, I found the following :

SA Reiterstandarte 6 Danzig was part of Brigade 6

SA Marine 401 Danzig

SA Standarte 244 Zoppot Gothenhafen (part of Brigade 6 ?)

SA Standarte 128 Danzig Stadt
SA Standarte 5 Danzig Land

SA standarte 14 Danzig

Hi Jerome and Jarek,

I am delighted to get your responses to my question.

It will take me a few days to digest your information from the map.

One thing I have noticed is that Jerome's OB includes the place name "Gotenhafen". This is the wartime German name for Polish Gdynia, so this must be post-1939 information.

Can either of you specify more exactly your sources? I might be able to find the same sources at the Imperial War Museum here in the U.K.

Many thanks,

Sid.
