Brabant Bevrijd maar weer eens een keer
von der Heydte/Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 6 was the Kampfgruppe Chill "taktisch Unterstellt".Peter wrote:Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 was part of Kampfgruppe Chill
Recommended read (!) for the dutch readers amongst us is: Brabant Bevrijd, by Maarten Zwarts and Jack Didden.

S Flak Abt. 559
I think Schwere Flakabteilung 559 refers to
sPzJgAbt 559 commanded by Maj Sattler
There didn't exist a Schwere Flakabteilung 559
only a scheinwerfer Abt.
