Info: German units in Berchtesgaden area 1945 - Feldgeneral Hoth - 08-13-2007

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!

May 1945: SS Division Nord surrenders to US troops in Bavaria
Standartenführer Franz Schreiber 04/1945 - 05/1945

Quote:38.SS-Grenadier-Division "Nibelungen"
April 24th, 1945: The 38th was determined to be fully ready for battle and sent to the Danube River Front in Southern Bavaria. It was placed under the command of the XIII SS Korps.

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.
