Good info. I have never read or heard of the 19th Lw Field Division in Italy. But now knowing the dates, I went to US Army history volume "Cassino to the Alps" and found it in the index. It says that Senger's XIV Panzer Corps took command of the 19th and 20th LwFDs around June 12, 1944. Then later as the XIV ARMY fell back toward the Cecina River, Kesselring transferred the newly arrived 16th SS Panzer Grenadier Division and the 19th Lw Field Division to the XIV Panzer Corps. The 19th Lw Field Division replaced the 20th Lw FD, which went to the X ARMY. The 19th Lw Field Division took a stand on the western coast at Cecina, a town that featured a massive stone castle. The 133rd US Infantry Regiment, and 804th US Tank Destroyer units drove them out of this location.In December 1944 the 20th was briefly reconstituted but quickly converted to the 155. Feldausbildung Division.
Haven't found any tie with the HG Division.
Checking my reference "Canadians In Italy", Appdx B lists the 20th Air Force Field Division organization for 12 August 1944 as follows:
XIV Army Group
+ 75th Corps
++ 20th Air Force Field Division
++ 16 SS Panzer Grenadier Division
The same table lists the 155th (Field Training) Infantry Division as "Other German Formations Which Served In the Italian Theatre 10 July 1943 - 2 May 1945"
I see the connection. I'm looking for more Org Tables in my references but don't think I have any.
Thanks for the tremendous help.
