97.Armeekorps is Pz Abt 212 ?

[Kelvin]

Hello, I would like ask if 97.Armeekorps Adriatic Littoral Zone was designated as Pz Abt 212 in 1945 ? Or they are separate unit ? thank

According to Tessin's work, Panzer-Abt 212 took losses in the area of Belgrade in October 1944. In December 1944, the remnants of the unit and those of Panzer-Abt Rhodos were combined as a rebuilt Panzer-Abt 212 vicinity Gorizia. The rebuilt unit had three assault gun companies. No mention of 97. AK in conjunction with this unit.

The 97. AK z. b. v. was formed on 28 September 1944 by renaming the "Adriatic Coastal Operations Area Command" (Befehlshabers Operationszone Adriatisches Küstenland) Source for that is again Tessin's work.

Cheers

In October 1944 it was transferred to Belgrade and in December it was rebuilt and equipped with Panzer III and Panzer IV.

from-- https://web.archive.org/web/20140806214 ... eilung-212

Also-- https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gl ... IKorps.htm mentions Pz-Abt 212 being subordinated to LXXXXVII. AK on 10 March 1945.

Hello, this book deals with Panzer-Abteilung 212 in the OZAK: http://www.panzer-ozak.it/pzabt208_en.htm
(the book is mainly about PzAbt 208, but an appendix is about PzAbt 212 which took over the tanks left behind by PzAbt 208 when it left the OZAK in December 1944)
