LW Fortress Bns ?

[MadDog]

I am looking for any information on LW Fortress Battalions, specifically the I, VI, XI, and XVIII Bns. These units fought in the Aachen area in 1944. I have read the info from the ww2.dk website and I gather they were all 3 Companies in size. Does anyone have any precise information on the arrival date in the Aachen area, or more precise TOE ?

thanks,

While I havnt found a complete set of information, from looking at gliderung documents and reading the LXXXI corps diaries, it appears this type of unit had ~600 men and was equipped with 36 light machineguns and 6 heavy machineguns.
