Seilbahnkommando 601

[TrevorR]

Hello,

I purchased a Named Pioneer Visor to Hauptmann Viktor Mayr.
He served with Seilbahnkommando 601. I am looking to see where this unit served.
I have read some info online stating they were in Norway but looking to confirm it.
I also located a photo of the Officer.
I know he served with this unit from May 1941 to September 9, 1943.

Thank you in advance for any and all help

Yes, the unit served in Norway and Finland under the command of the XIX Gebirgs Korps in the area between Kirkenes in Norway and Petsamo and on to the Litsa front in Finland.

What was this unit's purpose? By their name I assume to construct cable cars?

They had to construct and run cable ways.
