I checked the book by Oluf Krabbe (Danish veteran from the East Front) - it states some core personnel left from the Narva front on 20 June 1944 to Btl I/Danmark, it was the intention they should have returned to Div Nordland/Regiment 24 Danmark after the intended date the Btl I/Danmark would be ready for front duty, this was planned for 15 October 1944, but was delayed. As a result the core personnel never returned to Regiment 24 Danmark because Regiment 24 Danmark in the meantime had been transferred from the Narva front to Kurland. The books states the formation of the Btl I/Norge was arranged simultaneously, so the core personnel for Btl I/Norge probably also left Narva 20 June 1944. Only by end November 1944, outside Warzawa, two newly formed grenadier batallions I/Rgt 24 Danmark and I/Rgt 23 Norge were added to Div Wiking including the above-mentioned core personnel from div Nordland. Hope this assists.
