Bernhard H.Holst Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Hello Chris. First time I come across such unit designation. Based on the issuing formation i.e. Corps level, it seems to be a small unit which was comprised of personnel in need of reduced level of duties because of health issues. Some members may have been recovering from wounds or illnesses. Perhaps a step up from Genesenen but not entirely fit for regular duty. A literal translation would not do in this case ( schonen or to spare.) But perhaps someone can come up with a more concise explanation. Bernhard H. Holst
