    Need some help with the following units

    I know that this is more a collectors forum rather then a research forum, but maybe someone knows..
    I´m looking for info on the following units:

    * Grenadier-Regiment Schwarzwald

    * Volks-Grenadier-Reserve-Bataillon 221

    * Grenadier-Regiment 1214 (after feb. 1945).
    I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
    Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

      Yes, but thats why i ask for more info after feb. 1945
      That information is correct. but the Regiment was NOT disbanded in feb.45, just destroyed.
      Remains of the Regiment surrvived and continued (1 Btl.).
      It was disbanded in early April 1945 (8-4-1945).
      But i wonder what they did between feb. and april 1945, and where?
      But thanks anyway.

        I´m asking this for a Soldbuch research, i´ll give some more info i got from the soldbuch and documents with it.
        His previous units were Inf.Reg.164 and Gren.Reg.164.

        * On 3 Jan. 1945 he receives a Silber verwundetenabzeichen from Res.Laz. Heidenheim.
        On the document his unit is written as: Volks-Gren.Res.Btl. 221.
        But i cannot find anything from that unit in the Soldbuch and on the internet, there is a Res.Gren.Reg. with that number though.

        * In feb. 1945 he was in Stab Kp. z.b.v./ Gren.Ers.u.Ausb.Btl. 460 and received equipment.

        * On 1 April 1945 5./Gren.Rgt. 1214 promotes him to Obergefreiter.

        * His last unit in 1945 is 5./Gren.Rgt.Schwarzwald.


        Now there is a good chance that Gren.Rgt.Schwarzwald was made up from the remains of Gren.Reg.1214.
        Any info is welcome!
