Hello Orlov

which Brigade do you mean? 1st or 2nd?

why do you think that they have an "schwere Abteilung"? (they have just 1 Abteilung ....)
why do you think that they have beutegeschütze?
(the schweren Batterien were created with german s.F.H.18...)

and which period do you mean? 1941 or 1943? or between?

Uwe

Hello Uwe,
I think about unit of 1. SS- Infanterie Brigade (mot.) 1. - 1.Feldhaubitz-Batterie der schweren ArtAbt used captured 155 mm haubice Canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider during Unternehmen "Karlsbad" - is this possible - because you wrote about sFh 18.
Thanks for help - Orlov

Hello Uwe,
I give up - I thought that Tieke was based on FPNr. 26 253 will enough.
When I was in Freiburg (BA-MA), I was thinking about Unternehmen "Karslbad", not about SS-Artillerie-Abteilung SS-Inf.Brig. 1.
This is a lesson for the future. Should I change the post - that no one would reproach me based on secondary sourrces?
