That' s exactly my mind. But I can find nowhere any information about the unit under the command of Dr. rer. pol. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Mayer.Bernd R wrote:Me too ! Am I correct stating that this unit is mentioned only in connection with the command of Gen. Dr. Dr. Johannes Mayer ? Time period Jan - March 1942. And we are speaking about the area of Heeresgruppe Nord ?
A whole Brigade !! Winter 1941/42 is the time of the first pure Ski-Bataillon ever, the Schle(e)brügge Btl., formed out of the Hochgebirgsjägerschule. First hypothesis : this Brigade has nothing to do with Ski.
