A detailed Army Group level operations map as of 13th January 1945: https://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org/de/ ... ect/zoom/9

This particular map has interest as it features a listing of the number infantry reserves (battalions) available at Heeresgruppe and Armee level and the positions of some of non-divisional units present.

Hello Donwhite

would it be possible to have for the 2nd German army, the same table as the one you put online for the 3rd German armored army in January 1945?
Thank you in advance..

Hello Marthus,
I'm still searching for a detailed 'Order of Battle' for 2.Armee. Rest assured if I come across something it will be posted! The 'Heerestruppen übersicht' posted by Art earlier in the thread (Dated early December'44) allows a degree order of battle reconstruction in the meantime.

Cheers

Best regards

Much more information compared to the Heeresarzt 10-Day reports for 4th Army in the same period, which is missing the last third of the month:
