LW Flak unit attached to 1 Pz.Div.

[Angel Farré]

I don't find my books for the 1 Panzer Division and I need to know which Luftwaffe Flak unit was attached to this division prior the addition of Heeres Flak Abteilung 299 in 1.943.

Thanks

Hello Angel !

Leichte Flak-Abt. 83 was in support of 1. Pz.Div. at the start of Barbarossa
(I do not know for how long) :

(This is confirmed by a Gliederung, see scan).

In mid 1942 this had been replaced by Heeres-Fla batteries(Sfl) 704 and 4./55.
