I think that link is for#7 and not #37. I will have a look through Curilla later for this Gend. Zug 37 (mot.) Unit later this evening from what I recall researching this one:

Curilla is one of the best resources.

I had a look in Curilla 'Der Judenmord in Polen und die deutsche Ordnungspolizei 1939 - 1945' & 'Die deutsche Ordnungspolizei und der Holocaust im Baltikum und in Weißrussland', also in Klemp 'Nicht Ermittelt' and no mention of this unit unfortunately.

Hello !

Perhaps the "little info" in the link provided by Plainview, has almost all info that is available
for this very small and special unit.

Here is a link to a summary of the existing info on the ~ 72 Gendarmerie-Züge and for #37 it does only
have the info given by the link from Plainview (and the FPN = 48126) :
http://www.forum-der-wehrmacht.de/in...621#post175621

It seems that these type of units typically consisted of 1 Officer and 36 Gendarmen and that
their main task was securing railway lines and traffic roads.

It might help to know, in what context the unit showed up (Soldbuch, book, order etc ...)

Best regards,
