Chris Boonzaier Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hi, I loose all traces of the 3rd Bavarian Radfahrer Batallion from the beginning of 1913 onwards... does anyone have any idea who they were attached to in that period? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hi Chris and merry Christmas! History of formation? My part... Which year do you mean? I think you made a mistake with 1913... Well, By outbreak of war, Bavaria had only two Radfahrer-Bataillone b.1.Radf.Btl. 1.Kp.: b.Kav.Div. ; later Lehrkommando für den Kaukasus ; later b.7.Kav.Brig. 2.Kp.: b.Radf.Btl.3 (In Alpenkorps 1915 from parts of the 1. und 2. b.Jg.Btl. und b.Res.Jg.Btl.) 3.Kp.: b.Kav.Div. b.2.Radf.Btl. 1.Kp.: later b.Radf.Btl.3 2.Kp.: later b.Radf.Btl.3 The b.Radf.Btl.3 was set-up from the Ers.Btl./b.1.Jg.Btl.. It consisted of the following units: 2.Radf.Kp./b.1.Jg.Btl. 1.Radf.Kp./b.2.Jg.Btl. 2.Radf.Kp./b.2.Jg.Btl. b.Radf.Kp.10 b.Radf.Kp.12 MG-Kp. (set-up by Stellv.Gen.Kdo.b.III.AK The Bataillon was dissolved end of september 1918. The companies of the Jg.Btls. came to the Jg.Rgt.Nr.1, the companies 10, 12 and the MGK came to the Alpenkorps. The b.3.Radf.Btl. was under command of: (chronologically): 2.Inf.Radf.Brig. 14.Armee Heeresgruppe Kronprinz Rupprecht 4.Armee Alpenkorps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Sorry, I meant 1916 onwards... even in ancestry.com the entries for the men stop in about 1916. Where they were for the last half of 1916 until the wars end is missing. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 As I wrote before, the bataillon stood under command of 2.Inf.Radf.Brig. (set-up in summer 1916) 14.Armee (set-up 9.9.1917, dissolved 23.1.1918) Heeresgruppe Kronprinz Rupprecht (set-up 28.8.1916) 4.Armee Alpenkorps during the war. Unfortunately I don´t know the dates, when it changed. The 2.Inf.Radf.Brig. were under command of the Karpathenkorps and the 9th army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
