Panzer-Jäger-Abteilung 657

[Alanmccoubrey]

Does anyone have any information as to the equipment of the two Panzer-Jäger-Kompnaie of this unit, 612 and 613. All that I have been able to find is tat its third company was Panzer-Kompanie 224 with its Char B2 Flamm tanks.

Have you checked BaMa RH 10/246? Think there are also detailed corps level report somewhere.

Zetterling also covers the battalion in his Normandy book and gives the heavy weapons based on the BaMa file.

[Rogier]

Detailed corps level reports can be found in various NARA T-314 rolls regarding LXXXVIII Corps.

Detailed strength reports (including weapons inventories) are available in these rolls, e.g. R-1620 frame no. 11.

Thanks both of you, if only I had access to those. Do they say what equipment, other than 224's tanks, the unit had ?

What period?

(BTW quite a few of the rolls are available for free online, as is BaMa RH 10/246)

[Alanmccoubrey]

Sorry, I forgot to say. August/October 1944.
