hello to all
; a new topic here..............................
The VIII AK in Upper Silesia.
At last, on Aug 31 1939 at 19:00 hours, the 2. Company of I./ IR 84 (Major d.R. Henrici) under Oberleutnant Fiedler left its garrisons at Keithkasernen heading towards the Schönwald through the Paul-Keller’s street; on either side of the march route were lined up several families from Gleiwitz.
The night from Aug 31 to Sep 01 1939 was clear and cool being the temperature some Celsius Grades over zero. We wore dark camouflages over ours uniforms. The Company was deployed on the ground as follows: 1. Platoon right, 2. Platoon left and 3. Platoon as reserve. To the Left was Oberleutnant Schlabitz’s 1. Company of I./ IR 84.
