After reading through the Analgen (KTB) for the LXXXVIII corps (T314, R1626, 63289/5), I noted the presence of a number of small Fj units in Sept/Oct that I cant find much information on. Anyone know anything about the following units (Nafziger and Tessin arent much help):
Fj. Btl. Bloch (as of early Oct, had 768 men)
Fj. Btl. Ewald
Fj. Btl. Jungwirth (not the regiment with his name in 1945 - as of early Oct, had 585 men)
Fj. Btl. Stephan
Fj. Btl. Finsel (another name for I./2 FJR ?)
Fj. Regt. Grassmaher (I suspect this unit has 2 similar sounding names)
Fj Regt. Huber (part of Div. Erdmann)
Fj Regt. Loydwid (Loywid ?)
thanks,
Mad Dog

Shouldn't it be:
Fj. Btl. Finzel (II Fj. Regt. 2)
Fj. Regt. Hübner (> Fj. Regt. 24)
Please PM me for more Info regarding these Units.

Re: misc FJ. units in Holland, Set 1944
I have been pulling the names directly from a PDF-ed version of the KTB, and its pretty obvious that some of the spellings vary. I think the bulk of the information says that it is "Finzel", not "Finsel" and "Hubner" (I cant type the umlaut) and not "Huber".
thanks,

Have a look at this study, here you can find some more units, 'beware' some of them where also misspelt.
