1. Marine-Schützen-Division

[Pirro]

Regarding the 1. Marine-Schützen-Division, since the unit attached to Heer Kriegsmarine for service requirements, lacking sufficient fighters units of the army .. The unit consists of approximately 9,000 men was sent to the area as part of the Oder-Korps (can not remember but I think they were the units commanded by several officers of the Waffen-SS were I think Skorzeny, and Mühlenkamp). The unit fought in areas where fighting also some units of the Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe and attached to the Oder-Korps ...

My question is the composition of the units of the division were all Navy personnel Heer and Kriegsmarine, or staff had also other units?

[Pirro]

The question the pose for the following reason, in this non-commissioned officer Armoured having command of the StuG III Photo distinguished (do not know if you can see well), the hallmark of the Waffen-SS or so I think it is. .. If this be so, that unity is reflected in the video, a unit of the Waffen-SS, the 1st Marine Panzerjäger Abteilung, or a unit of mixed composition (Kriegsmarine Waffen-SS &) ..?

Thank you

Pirro, I'm fairly sure that there is a StuH 42 in that film which would make the unit a StuG-Brigade and not the division's Pz.Jg.-Abt.
