Hallo schwedi!

SS-Flak.Abt.11 was part of the 11.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier Division "Nordland. The division and with it the Flak Abt. fought mostly with Heeresgruppe Nord before being evacuated from the Kurland pocket to Germany in 1945, where it was destroyed in the final battle for Berlin.

You can find more info on the Nordland division on this site. Here's the direct link:

Also try to get yourselve Wilhelm Tieke's Tragödie um die Treu (Tragedy of the Faithful), Rolf Michaelis' Die 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Nordland" and Die Flugabwehrverbände der Waffen-SS by Hans Stöber.

SS-Flak.Abt.11's commanders were Ostubaf. Plöw and Stubaf. Kurz. It was composed from three light and one heavy anti-aircraft battery.

Hope it helps
Marko
