Units from Graz

#1

Post by G. Trifkovic » 12 Nov 2004, 06:25

Hi everybody!

I was wondering which units that served in Wehrmacht were raised in Graz and Styria.I presume they were Gebirgstruppen but I´m not sure.
Also I would like to know if there were any RKT from Graz.Oh,and finaly-any pictures from that period related to the above-mentioned?

Many thanks,

Gaius

If you wish, my family comes from around there. The last trip i managed to get about 25 or so newspapers from the period including quite a few that cover death notices. If you let me know what kind of pictures you are looking for i can do a few scans
