I'm trying to pin down who the commander of Gebirgsjäger Regiment 141, 6 Geb.Div. was around May / June 1943. I have the regimental commanders for just about every other period except 1943.

Anyone know?

I know this is a tough one. 1943 is a bit of a black hole in the books as far as the 6 GD goes. Due i guess to the static nature of the campaing they were involved with.

Hi Harmel
Thanks for replying but the commander of GJR141 during the Greek campaign was Oberst Maximilian Jais.
A year later, April '42, i know that the commander was then Oberst Christl, with the I Btl. commanded by Hptm. Jakob, II Btl. by Major Kreitmeyer and III Btl. by Major Rath. None of these men seem to have been regimental commander by June '43.


Regards

Simon

Hi Simon!
Yes, 1943 is a har nut!
As you say, in 1942 the names are:

Geb.Jäg.Rgt 141 (Oberst Christl)
I./Geb.Jäg.Rgt 141 (Hptm Jakob, ab 1. Mai Hptm Steinbacher)
II./ Geb.Jäg.Rgt 141 (Maj Kreitmeyer)
III./ Geb.Jäg.Rgt 141 (Maj Rath)
