26.SS Panzer Battalion

[RFVD11]

According to the Osprey Waffen SS Diuvision series, this unit was formed for the 26.Waffen Grenadier Division der SS (ungarische # 2). Can anyone confirm this, and what type of panzers?

Tessin and Kannapin's work on the SS and Ordnungspolizei only indicate a SS-Panzerjaeger-Abteilung 26 that was part of that division. No indication of vehicle types. The FP number was 39037.

short life 26.SS-Panzer-Division was created on 10.08.1944 with SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Brigade 49 itself created on 6.44.
SS-Stubaf. Markus Faulhaber was Kdr of both units.
Seems disband on 8.9.1944.

No relation with 26.Waffen-Grenadie-Division der SS "Gombös" (ung. n° 2) created on december 1944.
