Brandenburger in GC41

Post by Wiedrock »

The Brandenburgers could deserve some attention in the GC41.
  1. The Brandenburger Panzergrenadier Division gets currently formed from the Rhodos Sturm Division, but this Division was just partially used. What's completely missing is the Division Brandenburg which was the actual base for the later Panzergrenadier Division Brandenburg.
  2. The Division Brandenburg was historically mostly used in "parts", so using the newly available OBs like:
    • OB:342 "43 Mot. Brandenburg Regiment" (04/43)
    • OB:344 "43 Mot. Brandenburg Mountain Regiment" (04/43)
    may be a good idea.
  3. Additionally attached (BArch RH 2/3039) is the "planned" setup from 04/44. I suppose this is to be the OB:279 "44 Brandenburg Mot. Division", so it'd be nice to have this being used as well.
  4. The Brandenburger Panzergrenadier Division which gets formed in late summer of 1944 is currently still using the OB:276 "44 GD Panzergrenadier Division" instead of using the new OB:280 "44 Brandenburg Panzergrenadier Division" (which evolves from before named OB:279).
Additionally excerpts from Tessins books related to the Brandenburgers, can be accessed here (right side).

Any idea/sources about the separate unit strengths from 1941 to 44 or where those separate units were stationed/operating?
