Hello
I have not much info.

RIEHS OTTO
DoB : 12/08/1921
Last rank : FELDWEBEL
DKiG : Not awarded
RK : 11/10/1943 as Ogfr. 14/GRE. RGT. 55 (17. INF. DIV.).

I have seen a book (booklet) in German about him. Search on the German eBay as some copies sometimes surface on this site.

Regards
Denis

Does anyone know in to which unit he belonged in the Festung Posen?

Wasn't he in Schule V? But any way the only unit with PAK guns in Festung Posen was Festungs Pak Abt. 102 . I must check it but I'm pretty sure that it was that unit.

Estimated date of late December 1944 to early January 1945 for Festungs Posen, I found:

3,7 cm PAK available for the Landesschützen = 16
7,5 and 5 cm PAK available for the Fahenjunker [Schule] = 3
7,5 cm PAK available for Festungs-Pak 102 = 7
8,8 cm PAK available for Festungs-Pak 102 = 4
7,62 cm "IKH" available for Festungs-Pak 102 = 5

Totals are 16 guns for Festungs-Pak 102, plus 19 more, for a grand total of 35 light and heavy anti-tank guns around Posen.
Not sure what the "IKH" means for sure, possibly Inf.Kan.How? I'll add a picture showing my reference soon.
