Chris Boonzaier Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 A thought....the 247 falls right into the basin of the divisions raised from nothing and sent to the front in a month and a half. Karl unruh writes that their equipment level was close to zero........maybe this was the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerookery Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Chris,There is really no mystery about the 247. The mountain machine-gun elements 211 -- 250 all seem to be adequately documented. The problem is in the regiments. 51 for example exists in no documentation that I'm aware of concerning scroll elements. Yet, there certainly is a picture!
