Kampfgruppe Wesel

Post by charlie don't surf »

I've read about kampfgruppe Wesel in james lucas "battle group!". It was a unit composed of sniper experts. The halted the russians at a bridgehead on the Oder. Does anyone know anything more about this unit?

"Then there was KG Wesler, a company of snipers whose specialist activities and high "kill" rate had so dominated one Russian bridgehead on the River Oder that enemy activity on that sector was held in check."
