    German regiment in Poland - HELP

    Dear Colleques,

    I'm looking for the information; which German regiments were garnisoned in Tschenstochau (Czestochowa) in 1914-1918.

    I can't find any information. I need only a short list.

    Are able to help me? Maybe you know the source... book ...etc. where I can find it?

    Thanks in advance,
    Martin

      You'll find reference specifically to fighting here;

      http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co....schariczer.htm

      As part of Feldmarschall-Leunant Hugo Martiny's 14th infantry division of Feldzeugmeister Paul Puhallo's V corps in the 1st army of General der Kavallerie Viktor Dankl, Generalmajor Schariczer led his brigade in the fighting in Southern Poland in August 1914. On the 22nd of August 1914 he was ordered by the divisional commander to proceed via Janów to Modliborzyce and secure the heights both sides of the Polichna road on the line Osada Zarajec-Wojciechów in order to aid the advance of V corps. In the heavy fighting for that position Schariczer personally led with great courage the men of his brigade and the attached infantry regiment 76 of the neighbouring brigade in accomplishing his mission and repulsing the heavy Russian attacks. In recognition of his leadership at Polichna he was awarded the knight's cross of the Order of Leopold with war decoration on the 21st of September 1914. In September 1914 he took over command of the 16th infantry division followed by his promotion to Feldmarschall-Leutnant on the 24th of December 1914. Commanding the 16th division Schariczer took part in the Carpathian advance of the 2nd army in early October and the advance to Chyrów and the fighting South of Przemysl. Transferred to the Prussian-Silesian sector of the front in November he led his division in the battle at Czenstochowa and the battles south of Lódz. Following the success at Limanowa-Lapanów 16th division was engaged in the pursuit of the retreating Russian forces north of the Vistula river. The year ended with heavy fighting around Tomaszów from the 19th to the 31st of December.

            It was all on Glenn's site. I'm very sad this has disappeared. He showed complete order of battle for all troops.
