    Kreigsmarine sailors in the Heer?

    Greetings!

    How common was it in 1944 for KM personnel to get a transfer to a Heer infantry unit? Were there specific units that were "feeder" units or could they wind up anywhere?

    THANK YOU!

    It was very common! Especialy later in 1944.
    The Kriegsmarine even had its own Infanterie units.
    Many Heer and SS units that got re-build for the Ardennes offensive got allot of Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine soldiers.

    I would say that most transferred KM soldiers went to the Volksgrenadier-Divisions.

    As another example i know that the 116.Panzer-Division received allot of KM and LW soldiers during 1944 (starting after the first losses in Normandie untill the end).
    They trained them within the Division (in Feldersatz-Bataillon 146) before sending them to the actual combat units of the Division.
    This because these KM and LW soldiers didn´t had any front fighting experience.
    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.
