In the following posts i intend to add any details i can to this.

First off;
Fortress division Breslau, also known as 408 or L.
Tessin says it was under LVII corps in Feb/Mar 1945 with the following units:
Gren.Ers.Regt 352 Glogau
Gren.Ers.Rgt 518 Schweidnitz
Aufkl.Ers.Abt 8 Oels
Fla-Ers und Ausb. Btl. 48 Liegnitz
Art.Ers.Abt 18 Bunzlau
Art.Ers.Abt 28 Schweidnitz
Heeresflak Ers. Und Ausb. Abt 273 Brieg
Sturmgeschutz-Ers. Und Ausb.Rgt. 300 Neisse
Pi. Ers. Und Ausb.Btl 18 Breslau
Pi.Ers.Btl 213 Brieg
Landesbau-Pi.Btl 518
Bau-Pi.Ers und Ausb.Btl 28 Schieratz

Div 609 seems to have been Div ZBV 609 which Tessin has as part of the 17th army.

Well, not much in the way of details, but hopefully it helped someone.
