Transportation to Sevastopol (including personnel) took place until May 6, 1944.
In Fund 500 TsAMO have the documents of the operational Department of HQ 17th Army - the daily reports from October 1943 to May 13, 1944.
I believe that they should appear soon on www.germandocsinrussia.doc.
I read them about fifteen years ago.

So almost all guns and other equipment were lost. Personnel casualties were apparently proportionally smaller than in the army division but still quite heavy. It seems that large losses of missing and prisoners were not adequately recorded in OKW casualty reports:

Can add something. Until the end of summer beginning of autumn 1942 in the structure of 1st anti-aircraft corps, then in structure of Stab Krim had FlakReg.18, which was of two FlakAbteilungs (I./14 and I./64) 10.5 cm Geschutz (the protection of Kerch and Sevastopol).

After reforming the structure of FlakForce the headquarters of FlakReg.18 departed, in meldungs and gliederungs 1st anti-aircraft corps and 9th anti-aircraft division 10.5 cm FlakAbteilungs not mentioned (which is likely to mean obedience directly to Luftflotte 4 or Kriegsmarine).
Or departed from the Crimea before the blockade?

No mention of not one flugabwehrgruppe.
About these flugabwehrgruppe almost always and everywhere is no information.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that flugabwehrgruppe directly subordinated to the flight corps.

Best Greetings from Austria

I need your help … ;-)

I wrote a contribution in the German-language "Forum der Wehrmach" about the 111th ID or the Pionier Battalion 111 (https://www.forum-der-wehrmacht.de/inde ... iedivision -or-Pioneer Battalion-111-in-the-Crimea /).
I am interested in documents about the transfer of the 111th ID and the 111th Engineer Battali-on from the Nikopol area to Crimea. Unfortunately, I still haven't found anything on https://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org/de/nodes/1- Inventory-500. Maybe someone of you has this data.

Thank you very much
Kreuzspiegel
