hi,
a friend who is assisting a Russian author who wrote about his father's unit (his father died in the vicinity of Tyrwa near Dorpat(Tartu)) asked me to ask in a WW II forum whether there is any information about german units fighting at that time in that area.
Thanks in advance,
greetings, the pb

Although Tõrva (Tyrwa) is indeed near Dorpat/Tartu, this area was covered not by the II.A.K but XXVIII.A.K. More details here:
