ra stefanowicz · Post by **ra stefanowicz** » Tue Oct 29, 2002 3:35 pm

I am trying to trace the history of Heer units that passed through the German town of Bad Kissingen, Manteuffel Kaserne. I have a source claiming that elements of the 2nd Leichte Dv (( PAK bn )) and / or the 7th Krad Bn and 7th AufKlg bn were briefly at this location. Can anyone please cite a source to confirm any of this. Thanks as always ...
Bob

Thank you very much .... Technically, would these units be considered part of the 2nd Leichte?

Hello and that you for the help. Could you please check your source of that Sani unit? I believe Tessin reports this as the 13th Sani at Manteuffel during the war years training field medics for the 13th PzDv. If I have this fact wrong, the thesis must have a major overhaul!!?
