    Mobilization 1939

    Morning All,

    From the aspect of the researcher the mobilization of the Heer in 1939 was a mess. Knowing it was all done with paper and pencil instead of computers requires us to cut them some serious slack on the mass confusion. There were a huge number of pre-Mobilization units which just "vanished" by being renamed or broken-up. Some of the confusion is a lack of documentation, some is simple slop (repeating errors without investigation) and some is convenience (maybe to prevent confusion, but still sloppy).

    What I would like to do is throw out to everything to everyone and kick it around in an attempt to clear up some of that confusion.

    The easy ones first:

    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 1 → Armee-Oberkommando 2 (AOK 2) / 2. Armee
    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 2 → Heeresgruppe C
    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 3 → Armee-Oberkommando 8 (AOK 8) / 8. Armee
    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 4 → Armee-Oberkommando 10 (AOK 10) / 10. Armee
    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 5 → Armee-Oberkommando 14 (AOK 14) / 14. Armee
    Heeresgruppen-Kommando 6 → Armee-Oberkommando 4 (AOK 4) / 4. Armee

    I think everyone can agree on those.

    Heeresgruppe Nord u. Heeresgruppe Süd did not exist as such on 01.09.1939 they were, respectively 2. Armee and 12. Armee until 02.09.1939.
    (Sorry, pet peeve.)


    1. Welle {Active / Peacetime Divisions}

    All of these Divisions were already in existence, so there is no problem there, but...

    three were created and retroactively assigned to 1. Welle:

    Grenzkommandantur Küstrin → Stab 50. Infanterie-Division (bei der Mobilmachung)
    and the 50ths three regiments:
    Grenz-Infanterie-Regiment 121 → Infanterie-Regiment 121 am 10. November 1939
    Grenz-Infanterie-Regiment 122 → Infanterie-Regiment 122 am 10. November 1939
    Grenz-Infanterie-Regiment 123 → Infanterie-Regiment 123 am 10. November 1939

    and later:

    Verband Danzig (auch als Kampfgruppe Eberhardt, als Brigade Eberhardt; vorm. Kommando der Landespolizei Danzig) → 60. Infanterie-Division am 15. Oktober 1939

    Grenz-Kommandantur Trier → Grenz-Division Trier → 72. Infanterie-Division am 19. September 1939

    The next three posts are planned for 2., 3., and 4. Welle - where confusion abounds and assistance is needed.

    Have a great weekend.

    2. Welle

    2. Welle {Reservists}

    If it weren't for the Inkos and Arkos (Infanteriekommandeur u. Artilleriekommandeur ) these 16 Divisions would be a breeze.

    On 01.01.1939 there were 28 "-kommandeurs":

    10 Infanteriekommandeur (Inko 3, 7, 9, 10, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, u. 34)

    and

    18 Artilleriekommandeur (Arko 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 24, 31, 32, 35, u. 44).

    Please note: To assist in keeping things straight Artilleriekommandeur is used for any pre-mobilization unit and Artillerie-Kommandeur for any mobilization / post mobilization unit.

    9 Inko and 7 Arko became the Staff of the Divisions of the 2.Welle:

    Infanteriekommandeur 9 → Stab 52. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 4 → Stab 56. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 7 → Stab 57. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 22 → Stab 58. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 1 → Stab 61. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 8 → Stab 62. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 3 → Stab 68. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 16 → Stab 69. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 19 → Stab 71. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 17 → Stab 73. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 32 → Stab 75. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 23 → Stab 76. Infanterie-Division
    Artilleriekommandeur 5 → Stab 78. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 34 → Stab 79. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 26 → Stab 86. Infanterie-Division
    Infanteriekommandeur 24 → Stab 87. Infanterie-Division

    11 Arkos remained Artillerie Command units

    Artilleriekommandeur 2 unterstellt II. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 3 unterstellt III. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 6 unterstellt VI. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 15 unterstellt IX. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 18 unterstellt VIII. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 20 unterstellt XXII. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 22 unterstellt X. Armeekorps (am 2. September 1939)
    Artilleriekommandeur 24 unterstellt IV. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 31 unterstellt XI. Armeekorps (am 2. September 1939)
    Artilleriekommandeur 35 unterstellt V. Armeekorps
    Artilleriekommandeur 44 unterstellt 44. Infanterie-Division als Divisions-Artillerie-Kommandeur

    an additional 4 Arkos were created during Mobilization

    Artillerie-Kommandeur 7 unterstellt VII. Armeekorps
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 19 unterstellt XXX. Armeekorps
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 27 unterstellt XXVII. Armeekorps
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 30 unterstellt XVI. Armeekorps

    leaving the following Korps level commands without an assigned Arko:

    I. Armeekorps, XII. Armeekorps, XIV. Armeekorps, XV. Armeekorps, XVII. Armeekorps, XVIII. Armeekorps, XIX. Armeekorps, XXI. Armeekorps, Generalkommando der Grenztruppen Eifel , Generalkommando der Grenztruppen Oberrhein, Generalkommando der Grenztruppen Saarpfalz, u. Führungsstab z.b.V. 1 (auch als "Korps Wodrig")

    What are the issues?

    Infanteriekommandeur 10: I can find no record of what happened to it.

    Artilleriekommandeur 17: some references show that Akro 17 assigned to XIII. Armeekorps and not Stab Stab 73. Infanterie-Division

    Multiple references show the following Arkos assigned on 01.09.1939 to various commands, but not none of them existed on that date and can be safely discounted:

    Artillerie-Kommandeur 123 unterstellt I. Armeekorps - aufgestellt 26. März 1940
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 108 unterstellt XII. Armeekorps - aufgestellt 1. Oktober 1939
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 122 unterstellt Generalkommando der Grenztruppen Eifel - aufgestellt 1. April 1940
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 143 unterstellt Generalkommando der Grenztruppen Saarpfalz - aufgestellt 18. Januar 1941
    Artillerie-Kommandeur 113 unterstellt Führungsstab z.b.V. 1 (auch als "Korps Wodrig") - aufgestellt 1. Oktober 1939 als Artillerie-Führer 113. Am 1. April 1940 zum Artillerie-Kommandeur 113 umbenannt.

          Thank you very much Hank.

          Those who deal in documents may wish to note in their records that the 3. Welle Infanterie-Regiments were missing the 4./, 8./ u. 12./ Kompanien until after the Polish Campaign.

            4. Welle

            4.Welle {Ergänzungs (Supplimental not Replacement)}

            Tucked away into the already existing 1. Welle Divisions was pretty much the entire 4. Welle. Each of these 14 Divisions basicly consisted of:

            3 Infanterie-Regimenter of 3 Bataillone, each with 4 Kompanien, plus 1 IG-Kompanie and 1 Panzerabwehr-Kompanie

            1 Artillerie-Regiment of 4 Abteilungen, each with 3 Batterien

            1 Panzerabwehr-Abteilung with 3 Kompanien

            1 Pionier-Bataillon with 3 Kompanien

            1 Nachrichten-Abteilung with 3 Kompanien

            We'll start with the Infanterie-Regiments, and go from there. You will notice each Regiment is rated Firm, Maybe or Could Be depending on the confidence I have in the reassembly. Firm is a very high level of confidence / confirmed. Maybe is a medium level, based mostly on the process of elimination. Could Be is a flat out guess:

              Minor correction in my previous post:

              Tucked away into the already existing 1. Welle Divisions was pretty much the entire 4. Welle. Each of these 14 Divisions basically consisted of:

              3 Infanterie-Regimenter of 3 Bataillone, each with 4 Kompanien, plus 1 IG-Kompanie and 1 Panzerabwehr-Kompanie

              1 Artillerie-Regiment of 4 Abteilungen, each with 3 Batterien

              1 Panzerabwehr-Abteilung with 3 Kompanien

              1 Pionier-Bataillon with 3 Kompanien

              1 Nachrichten-Abteilung with 2 Kompanien
