I am trying to confirm/identify FJ unit(s) who may have been located in the Godensholt/Westerscheps area of Germany during April 1945. Anyone able to help?

Parts of 6, 7 and 8 FJD made it to the Oldenburg-Bremen area, that's "near" those places.

6FJD saw it's end in Oldenburg, 7 FJD in the area between Oldenburg-Bremen, 8 FJD saw action in Menslage and Schwagerstorf, and finaly around Cloppenburg. Remnants made to Lauenburg an der Elbe (South-East of Hamburg).
