Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201
Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201
To which higher unit was Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201 (incorrectly named Nebelwerfer-Batterie 201) assigned during the Warsaw Uprising?
Thanks.

Markus,
Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201 arrived together with the 4 trains carrying Stellungswerfer-Regiment 102 in the Warsaw area on 6./7.8.1944. The trains were unloded at Pruszkow station.
A 'Vortragsnotiz' regarding the 'Truppeneinteilung der Kampfgruppe Reinefarth' dated 16.8.1944 lists Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201 as part of 'Angriffsgruppe Nord' under a certain Major Reck from the Infanterie-Schule Potsdam.
This group was made up from:
- verst.gem.Btl. Arzberger
- Pz.Gren.Ausb.Btl. 5
- 1 Kp. Gend.Einsatz-Kdo. Walter
- 1 Kp. Pol.Btl. Burkhardt
- Pol.Btl. Warschau
- 1 s.M.G.-Zug/SS-Kp. Röntgen-Posen
- s.Stellg.Wrf.Btr. 201
- 1 Zug Pi.Btl. 654
- Taifunzug (Stab Pz.Pi.Sturm-Btl. 500)
- 1 Flamm-Wfr.Trupp/SS-Jg.Btl. 501
Can't tell since when or how long it stayed with this group but it may be a start.

Re: Stellungswerfer-Batterie 201
Is it "Stellungswerfer" or "Stellungs-Werfer"? I've seen both forms used.

This might be not very helpful, but all I can tell you from my experience is that in the few documents covering these units I have seen so far both forms are used about equally often.
