Hello,

Does anyone know who was the commander of this unit subordinated to the Schützen-Brigade 3 of the 3. Panzer-Division during the Westfeldzug?

Thank you!
Cheers,

Hi Jan-Hendrick,

could you be so kind to give a source for that? I am pretty sure that you are correct but I have an OoB of 3rd Panzer I cobbled together from various sources and there I noted as commander of Kradschützen 3: "Major von Corvin-Wiersbitzki ?". I might have cribbed that from Zimmermann "Griff ins Ungewisse" but I am not sure.

regards
Matt
