    Units in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia

    Hey everyone.

    I was wondering if anyone could direct me or show me the units that were in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia during the period of 5. August, 1940. I'm trying to peice together some history on a particular soldier who was there. I believe he was in a pioniere battalion of some infantry unit, because earlier in his military career (Early 1940 and before) he was an infantryman, but was later for the most part a pionier.

    Here are some photos of referance that belonged to the particular soldier. Two have been turned into postcards:

    Postcard Fronts (Could anybody identify the men in the black uniform standing in front of the crowd? It seems there is a policeman standing below:



    Postcard Rears:



    Another photo. I'm almost certain this is of the same parade at Karlsbad. The wagons seem to be the same (I'm not sure what else they were issued for) and it belonged to the same man, whom is also in the photo. The men are pioniere of some sort.



    Here is amodern photo of Karlsbad. The railings seem to be the same as in the parade photos as well as the small stream in the background.



    I hope someone may be able to help.

    Thanks.

    I could well be the 46 ID, which was based in Karlsbad as of 1938

      Wow! I really think that may be it! Because he was at Stalingrad and this unit was in the Kaukausus. Thankyou, SO MUCH!!!

      If there are any other possible units that anyone else would know, please let me know.

      Thanks again!
