Der Fuhrer Question

[Scott A. Hess]

Anyone know if regiment Der Fuhrer had any pioneer platoons/troops attached to it, or were they strictly infantry? I realize Pioneer are specialty infantry units, but would they have worn the black piping? Thanks

Hi Scott,

If there were a need for them, I'd think they'd probably be assigned. But I'm not sure if they'd be "Der Furhrer", SS or Heer. You might know or someone else.

Thank you,
George

Scott, I believe they did for a short time around 1941/42

Thanks All, appreciate it.

All those sub - units attached usually wore the Das Reich title unless they started out with that unit.
