    Basic question about Reserve X Ersatz

    Hi y' all

    Can anyone explain to me what is the difference between a "Reserve" unit and a "Ersatz" unit in the Wehrmacht? I never paid too much attention on this, but now it would be important to understand for a documents research.

    Thanks in advance,

    Douglas.

    I believe an 'Ersatz' unit could be directly deployed when the need arose, and a reserve unit was realy a reserve unit...

    (I think)

      A unit of the Reserve I: inactive reserve of fully trained men under 35;
      A unit of the Reserve II: inactive reserve of partly trained men under 35.
      Ersatzeinheit: replacement unit or replacement training unit.
