1 Parachute Army order of battle

[Wapen]

Hello Great Guys,

This is my first proper post and I'm on the scrounge. I'm writing up part of Operation Veritable (Feb-Mar 1945, Nijmegen to Wesel) and have found a partial ORBAT for the elements of 1 Para Army defending against the 1 Canadian Army. There are a few holes I know of (e.g. 655 Heavy AT Bn) and a few battalions that I've classed as homeless becasue the original has no parent division. Does anybody know where they are from? I'd also like to use the preferred German names for units rather than the names Allied Int chose for them, so any tips on that very welcome too. Here's what I've got.

84 Inf Div:
I & II Bns 1051 GR;
I & II Bns 1052 GR;
I & II Bns 1062 GR;
84 Fus Bn;
279 Magen Bn.
180 Inf Div:
I & II Bns 1221 GR;
II Bn 1222 GR;
I & II Bns 1223 GR;
180 Fus Bn.
190 Inf Div:
II Bn, 1224 GR;
I Bn,, 1225 GR
190 Fus Bn.
346 Inf Div:
346 Fus Bn.
2 Para Div:
I, II & III Bns, 2 Para Regt;
II & III Bns, 7 Para Regt.
6 Para Div:
I & III Bns, 16 Para Regt;
I, II & III Bns, 17 Para Regt;
I, II & III Bns, 18 Para Regt.
7 Para Div:
I & II Bns, 19 Para Regt;
II Bn, 20 Para Regt;
I & II Bns, 21 Para Regt;
7 Para FEB (whatever that means).
8 Para Div:
I & II Bns, Para Lehr Regt.
15 PzG Div:
I & II Bns, 104 PGR;
I & II Bns, 115 PGR.
116 Pz Div:
I & II Bns, 60 PGR,
I & II Bns, 156 PGR.
Homeless Bns:
Bn Riegels (possibly 84 Div);
Security Bn Munster VI (possibly 84 Div);
Para Bn Crahns (Possibly 7 Para Div);
12 Para Recce Bn;
Para Army Assault Bn.

The only reward I can offer is a biggup in my thesis, if I ever finish it.

IIRC, the last two you mention were subordinated to headquarters, 1. FsArmee .

FEB = Feldersatzbataillon, "field (personnel) replacement battalion".

You will also have to find those units subordinated to army headquarters, such as non-divisional artillery units, assault gun units, heavy tank battalions, etc.
