Thanks, that's a huge help, especially for the German side.

Thanks xe5!
I wasn't sure if 501st PIR was a parent formation of 1st Battalion. Now I understand that all units inside the same division share the same higher HQ.

The battle group badges for

• Kampfgruppe Becker
• Kampfgruppe Hermann

display

• II.Fallsch.Korps

is it of any significance for the previously noted parent formation Feldt?

[xe5]

per Feldgrau.net:

KG Becker and Hermann were 2 KG formed from the remnants of 3rd and 5th FJ divisions, respectively. They fought near Nijmegan, with Corps Feldt and the 406th division zbV.

PegasusArchive.org indicates that the OOB for II Fallschirmjäger Korps consisted of 3rd FJ Div (KG Becker), 5th FJ Div (KG Hermann) and KG Greschick.

In LSA, all of II Fallschirmjäger Korps, KGs Becker, Hermann and Greschick, is operationally attached to Korps Feldt. The confusion stems, once again, from a problem with the game manual. 9.2.2 (p.27) says: "The Parent Formation is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen." While it is true that the actual parent formation icons are displayed on the Battlegroup screen, in terms of section 9.2.2 - Formation Point Pool - this is not true in all cases. For example - the 3 divisional icons are used for XXX Corps BGs rather than the XXX Corps "Boar" icon which would represent their parent formation in LSA.

What is the significance of the "XXX" and "XXXX" symbols demarcating the operational area lines?

[RD Oddball]

The info came from a historical military map indicating the rough German battle group operational areas at the start of the campaign.
