Awardholders / unit

[USAF1986]

Here is the single German Cross in Silver holder of the 210. Infanterie-Division. I did not find any holders of the German Cross in Gold, Close Combat Clasp in Gold, or Finnish Order of the Cross of Liberty, 1st Class with Swords who received these awards while assigned to this division.

As always, additions/corrections would be most appreciated!

Best regards,
Shawn

Korps - Abteilungen

Units which haven’t been regarded too much in published works / online are the Korps-Abteilungen A – H.
They existed in 1943 / 1944 by merging of exhausted infantry divisions.
In the context of this project I will try to compile award lists for them also.
Partly, it is not easy to class several recipients to these Abteilungen: main reason is that the old unit designations of the infantry regiments as well as of the support troops like Art.Rgt or Pi.Btl have been used lateron. Therefore it is very much appreciated if you can keep an eye on the lists and post any corrections or remarks you have !!

Bernd,

I believe that these men should be added to the DKiG list for 14 I.D.(page 34):

Auert, Heinz, Fw. - 4./Krad.Bn.54 - 26.05.43
Fritzsche, Karl, Fw. - 3./Pz.Art.Abt.14 - 11.02.45
Kühnel, Arthur, Lt. - 8./GR(mot)53 - 18.03.43
Lutzenberger, Werner, Lt. - 10./GR(mot)53 - 02.04.43

And to the DKiS list:

Braun, Rolf, Major - Nachr.Abt.14 - 23.03.45

BR.........JC

[Bernd R]

Thanks, Jeff for your reviewing work and additions !
I have added these 4 DKiG and 1 DKiS recipients to the 14. ID list on [page 34]

regards, Bernd

[JC]

As I./AR 37 was the schw. Abt. of AR 1, these should be added to the respective lists for 1 I.D.:

RK

Krüger, Fritz, Stwm. - Battr.Offz. I./AR 37 - 17.03.45

DKiG

Hoffmann, Karl, Wm. - 3./AR 37 - 15.04.45
Krüger, Fritz, Owm. - 1./AR 37 - 23.02.43

EBS

Christ, Wilhelm, Oblt. - 2./AR 37 - 07.10.43

Also add:
Janczik, Bruno, Lt. - 5./GR 22 - DKiG 28.11.42

BR........JC

[Bernd R]

Fine working day !
I have made the following additions as well :

1. Inf.Div KC list [page 9] added
Krüger, Fritz 17.03.1945 Stabswachtmeister Bttr-Offizier 1./Art.Rgt 37

DKiG/other awards list [page 22] added
DKiG :
Hoffmann, Karl, Wm. - 3./AR 37 - 15.04.45
Krüger, Fritz, Owm. - 1./AR 37 - 23.02.43
Janczik, Bruno, Lt. - 5./GR 22 - DKiG 28.11.42
EBS :
Christ, Wilhelm, Oblt. - 2./AR 37 - 07.10.43

remarks :
Krüger, KC with 1. Batterie / AR 37 ; "I." from the book is wrong, Bttr-Offz is in a battery not Abteilung [evidence , got DKiG in 1.Bttr also / source in addition: Scherzer] ; that's the remarkable point regarding the lists of "Die Deutschen Divisionen": they seem to be quite complete but have many errors ; no problem, we have to learn to read them
Janczik added preliminary : GR 22 ? could be a typo
Inf.Rgt 22 was renamed Füsilier-Regiment 22 on 12.11.1942 ; not called Gren.Rgt in any time period to my knowledge

1. Inf.Div , new : 46 KC (41 RK + 5 EL) / DKiG : 150 , EBS : 60

Thanks Jeff ! Any additions always welcome ! Good step forward today !

regards, Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Apparently it was, but only for a very short time. This from DDD#1:

Infanterie-Regiment 22
* 1.10.1934 als Inf.Rgt. Gumbinnen;
15.10.1935 Inf.Rgt. 22, FStO Gumbinnen
1.10.1940 Abgabe des Rgt.Stabes und III. als Stab und I./405 zur 121. Inf.Div. statt am
15.10.1942 in Gren.Rgt. 22 umbenannt zu werden, wurde es
Füsilier-Rgt. 22 am 12.11.1942 als Traditions-Rgt. des Füs.Rgt. Graf Roon (Ostpr.) Nr. 33

with order of 27.07.1944 it was planned to reform 183. ID (Neu) out of Korps-Abt C ; this couldn't get in effect because Korps-Abt C was nearly destroyed already in Nothern Ukraine ; HQ and parts managed to break out of the Brody encirclement on july 24th 1944, appr. 5,000 men. Similar number KIA/MIA. Trains were not encircled and managed to escape unscathed.
With order of 05.08.1944 183. ID was declared disbanded effective immediately, which in fact happened until 9./12. august 1944 at Oberglogau / Upper Silesia.
Remaining elements of the Korps-Abt were used to establish 183. VGD which was officially formed on 15.09.1944 at TrÜbPl Döllersheim]

the translation of

...statt am 15.10.1942 in Gren.Rgt. 22 umbenannt zu werden, wurde es Füsilier-Rgt. 22 am 12.11.1942...

is : instead of being renamed into ...
possible that indeed the designation Gren.Rgt was used ; I tend to the opinion that it in fact happened ;
but the above is not a proof. If it's a typo -> possibilities : GR 2 or 222 (?)
Let's keep it with the div preliminary. Don't want to be "nitpicking" in any way.
