Ortskommandantur 960 (FP No. 06505)

Formed 10.9.1940 in Wehrkreis III; 8.12.1942 disbanded.
Under: Panzer Gruppe Afrika in Derna

Division von Broich

Formed 15.11.1942 in Afrika from Ortskommandantur II/960; also known as Schützen Brigade von Broich; Renamed 11.2.1943 Division von Manteuffel.

The above should explain why it is in use on a document signed by von Broich! Although FP Nr. 06505 was officially cancelled due to the disbandment of Orts.Kdtr. 960 in 1942, Division von Broich appears never to have received an official FP Nr. so the only thing to use was the old units FP Nr.!!!!

Did not know about the von Broich connection, however Rgt. Barenthin did come under Division Manteuffel March-May 1943.
