Hello
In a Karteikarte I found a „Gren.Rgt. D V“ in oct. 44
Tessin reports no such Rgt., not even if „D 5“
Data wrong or, if OK, under which Division or was it an independent Rgt. ?
Thanks, Rossano

Hello!
Gren.Rgt. D/V (or Kampfgruppe D/V) was a Walküre-unit of Wehrkreis V raised on 1st September 1944 with staff, signal platoon and three battalions by Gren.Ers.u.Ausb.Rgt. 5 and Gren.Ers.u.Ausb.Rgt. 35 with a strength of 2152 men.
Operated under Brigade von Oppen.
On 3rd November 1944 the regiment was dissolved:
I. and III. became I. and II./Gren.Rgt. 759 of 338. Inf.Div.
14./D/V became 1./Pz.Jg.Abt. 1059 of 159. Inf.Div.
Staff, signal platoon and II. were absorbed by 189. I.D.
