Hello.

I'm interested to know which units are deployed in the Bavarian zone near the Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's nest in the last weeks of the war.
Anyone has information?.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

until now I never came upon data...I only read about very, very limited resistance of minor pockets.

I'll see what I can find!

so far so good....

use google "bavaria troops 1945" "bavaria units 1945" or such...
Thanks for your fast reply, Koen.

That is more than I can imagine.

I have notice SS troops in Bad Reichenhall, attached to Hersche Regiment from 33. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS Charlemagne (französische Nr. 1). Otherwise there were SS barracks in the Obersalzberg area near Hitler resting house. I cannot imagine scarce troops in the area to avoid any enemy operation (paratroopers) to capture or killed the main german personalities...

We are trying to design a scn on the last days of war in this area. Semi-historical scn , off course.
