Bahnschutz in Oberkrain (Slovenia)

#1

Post by K.Kocjancic » 13 May 2016, 06:29

I'm looking for info on these Bahnschutz units (23. Wach-Kp. Villach; 392. Bahnschutz-Btl.; 184. Bahnschutz-Rgt.), that were according to partisan intel present in Oberkrain. Kp. Villach is mentioned several times over all the war period, while the Btl. and Rgt. were mentioned only once.

Can't find any of them in Tessin.

Regards,
Klemen

Hello Klemen,

It was probably the Landesschützen Regiment 184 (formerly Landesschützen Regiment "Süd") which was deployed in this area from its creation in Spring 1943. It was headquartered in Krainburg and had responsibility over three battalions, the Landesschützen Bataillone 517 (Villach), 927 and 928.

Cheers,

Thank you both!

For the Rgt. I was suspecting that this was the case, because LDS-Btln. were primarily used for guarding railway.

Klemen
