Re: LXXXVI. Armee-KCorps info please
For Gen. Bieler Bradley says zugleich in Lazarett 4-2 to 9-6-43 then a 27-5-43 entry saying mIt Wirkung 1-4-43 in Führer-Reserve
we have a gap from 4-2 to 21-2
Gen Frhr Geyr von Schweppenberg mdFb from 21-2-43 to (1-4-43)- date started at Genstab HGr. B (Bradley)
Erwin Jaenecke 1-4-43 to (3-6-43) date shown as next assignment 17. Armee (Bradley) also NARA T-78 R-896
Anton Frhr Mauchenheim gen. Bechtoldsheim 3-6-43 to 1-7-43 NARA T-78 R-896
Gustav Fehn 12-7-43 to 20-8-43 (Bradley & Lexikon der Wehrmacht) also NARA T-78 R-896
Re Gen Straube, Dieter posted his biography on 11-19-08. It says he commanded LXXXVI. AK to 28-4-45 then 1. Fallschirm-Armee.
The dates on Gens Jaenecke, Mauchenheim and Fehn are from a post by Histan (my printout doesn't have the date- just says "post by Histan, today 13;01"- stupid me for not writing the date down- I looked it up and the post was on 8-2-14, but Histan said all three commanders' dates were confirmed from T-78 R-896.
Best regards,
