Hi all,
I'd like to know under which division/unit did these 3 regiments served during autumn 1944, befor the "Wintergewitter" offensive started on Dez.26th 1944 in Serchio Valley, Italy:
- Hoch.Geb.Jag.Rgt.4
- MG Btl. "Feldmarschall Kesselring"
- Hoch.Geb. Jag. Rgt. "Mittenwald"
One source I read wrote that they were fighting on Abetone, Italy, before being transferred to Serchio Valley.
No info about the unit they belonged to.
Many thanks for your help
