Sorry no picture but. I think not LAH but maybe SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 11 Reinhard Heydrich. Sometimes also brought up as Panzer Grenadier Regiment 11

January 1945: Combat Operation "Nordwind" - the last German offensive of the west. SS-Kampfgruppe Schreiber (elements of SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 12) attached to 361st Volksgrenadier Division, infiltrates through US VI Corps lines and seizes Wingen-sur-Moder in anticipation of armored reinforcement from Army Group G. Due to the failure of XIII SS-Armeekorps to break through US XV Corps units, Army Group G diverts panzers elsewhere. Unit troops at Wingen-sur-Moder must fight their way out of encirclement. Kampfgruppe "Wingen" loses over 500 men out of 725, but fights its way back to German lines. Remainder of division arrives too late to affect outcome of Nordwind, but SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 11 cuts off & destroys six companies of the US 157th Infantry Regiment north of Reipertswiller in late January.

Hi Uscha......

I started with first unit you named .......12.ss-pz.gren.rgt.11 Which stands for 12/SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment 11. Which could stand for a unit from the Geb. Div. Nord. In this case "Reinhard Heydrich". I accidently switched the name with
"Michael Gaißmair" .....my fault sorry.......iv'e seen the names SS Gebirgsjäger Regiment 11 and SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment 11 been used for both the same units.

After seeing the copy.....i can't reed the date of death. But i presume it would be ok. Last entry of unit = 1 SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte AH thats a fact.....

Where did you pick up the details 12.ss.pzgren.reg.11 on the copy of the sheet????

Regards

Eric

Hi Uscha.....That makes indeed more sence than 12/SS Pz. Gren. Reg. 11....12/SS Pz. Gren. Reg. 1 sounds more on the right spot ...also the place of the cemetry.........i'll take a look what i can find ........
