brianch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi..Please can anyone offer any help to place regiments to divisions in order I may be able to find where specific Divisions/regiments fought during the Verdun battle(s) I have a few sterbebild of men killed but would like to know a little more and this is a fairly recent interest (german) having previously concentrated on the French. I am aware of some downloads available but I am still not 100% sure of my findings so if there is anyone who can put me right, I would be very grateful KIA 3 August 1916 13th Inf Regt KIA 23 June 1916 201 res Inf Regt KIA 12 July 1916 1st Inf Regt KIA 12 June 1916 12th Inf regt KIA 12 June 1916 24th Inf Regt Thanks in advance Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi, I think there is a mix there of bavarian and "Other" ? 1st and 12th must be bavarian? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi Brian, regiment 1 and 12 are Grenadier-Rgts., maybe we can see some Sterbebilder!? Best regards, Jens ... and here some links to the units: Gren.R 1 – GenWiki Gren.R 12 – GenWiki IR 13 – GenWiki IR 24 – GenWiki RIR 201 – GenWiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi Brian, regiment 1 and 12 are Grenadier-Rgts., maybe we can see some Sterbebilder!? Best regards, Jens Hi, but not in this case.... Grenadier regt 12 had left Verdun by then, 12th Bavarian Inf regt was there as was the 1st Bavarian Inf Regt (Gren Regt 1 was never at Verdun). 1 bav inf regt as part of Bavarian 1st Div 12 bav Inf regt as part of 2nd Bav Div.

Best Chris ... yes you are right, the 12th Inf regt. = 5th infantry-division was June 1916 Reserve der O. H.-L.: Militär/Formationsgeschichte/Deutschland/Alte Armee/5. Division – GenWiki That's why I'm asking to see some Sterbebilder! Most of this cards are from the (catholic) bavarian-region!

brianch Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for the replies - I will post some photo's but my previous experience was not too good as the photo's had to be reduced so much they were barely viewable. I will do my best and thanks agai Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianch Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Its as I thought - too small to read. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 brianch, You must be doing something wrong if you can't post a Sterbebild in real size or larger. Are you scanning them or photographing them? Scanning is better. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianch Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 OK I'll try scanning - Photo's don't do them justice at the small size allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianch Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for the info - a bit concerned about the last one who according to the German grave search was killed at Douamont but there seems to be a mention of "Koytnica-Watyn" on the card. Thanks again Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
