Feldartl-Regts. Nr 505

[Brian R]

Can anyone tell me the parent unit of Feldartl-Regts. Nr 505, especially during the last days of the war?

[Chip]

FAR 505 a.KW. (auf Kraftwagen) Heeres Artillerie, at the war's end with the 5.Armee.

More specifically attached to the 7. Reserve Division, 30 September 18- till the end of the war.

Paul,

That's interesting. 251 Divisions does not mention a divisional change and Kraus has no information on the divisional attachment for this regiment. May I ask where this info comes from? I'm not doubting it, just interested in an unknown (to me) source.

Chip,

It's from Kraus, "Handbuch der Verb?nde und Truppen des deutschen Heeres 1914 ? 1918," IX, band 1, page 475.
