in Bohmen Mahren I found the following wach bat.

SS Wachbataillon 2 "Prag"
1942 Ostubaf Hermann Peter
1943 Stubaf Michael Kneissl

SS Wachbataillon "Böhmen Mähren"
1940 SS Hstuf Kneissl

SS Wachbataillon Prag
1942 Ostubaf Hermann Peter

I'm convinced these units are the same unit referenced under various name.

Hi Jerek and Jerome, thanks for your answers.
I have a feldpost with a stamp SS-WACHSTURMBANN Böhmen-Mähren, sent from Brunn. I think should be the same unit we are talking about. Is it possible that one of the Companies of this Btl was based in Brunn ?

Many thanks

Rolf
