Fall Weiß - Lelów 1939.

Hello to all :D; a short history and a doubt ...............................

The 2. Le. Div in Poland - Lelów 1939.

AFAIK Oberleutnant Schütt and its crew belonged to Aufkl. Reg 7 (2. Le Div.); on September 3, 1939, the division was ordered to move towards Szczekociny. In Lelów, the Aufkl. Rgt. 7 broke a light enemy resistance. On both sides of the march route, elements of the retreating 7. Div (Polish) fled to hide in the woods. Elements of the German division pursued in order to cut the enemy forces. The Aufkl. Rgt. 7 struggled to Szczekociny while the Schtz. Rgt. 6 attacked Pradla. Perhaps in these fights was knocked out the panzerspähwagen Sd Kfz 223 (fu) where Schütt and his comrades perished on Sep 03, 1939.........................

Does anyone have more details about these fights? Cheers. Raúl M 8-).
