Heer Sp?htruppunternehmens Conrad

[Stefan]

Hello,

I got this very interesting report a month ago that I would like to share.

I will soon put them on my private web page so you can download and read it at home.

It's about the last push to Dietl after Operation B?ffel stopped.

Can anyone tell me more about Oberleutnant Conrad?

Regards, Stefan

Could this have been the Conrad (no first name, alas, since I find no higher decorations for him) who was serving in

Gebirgspanzerabwehrabteilung 47 of 2. Gebirgs Division before the war?

Leutnant 1.1.38 #301

and miraculously (but confirmed by the pre-war unit reference) in the May 1944 Seniority List

Major 1.12.43 #66b

?

Fascinating report, which has survived remarkably well.

It would be interesting to trace the route they took using similar equipment (minus perhaps the MPs) to find out what can be seen from that period and how long it would take today.

Thanks Rick

David, let's plan for a little vacation...pack the rucksacks with the Norwegian beer Ringnes and go for a hike

Cheers, Stefan

Stefan,

That is something I would seriously consider. I won't be able to manage it in June of this year due to other commitments, but it is something worth looking into for later.

Quite a bit from the war if you know where to look. Bunkers and coastal batteries a plenty including an outstanding military museum at Svolvaer jam packed with militaria.
