106. Panzer-Brigade Feldherrnhalle

The 106. Panzer-Brigade Feldherrnhalle was formed from a cadre of SA men. The 106th boasted a strong consignment of the latest Panther ausf. G tanks, a fully mechanized Panzergrenadier battalion and a company of the brand new Jagdpanzer IV/70s. The brigade was sent into action in Alsace-Lorraine against the American forces of General Patton's US Third Army. The 106th fought well during the withdrawal into Germany. On April 6, 1945, the remnants of the brigade were assigned to the ad-hoc Panzer-Division Clausewitz. The brigade's survivors surrendered to the Americans on May 8, 1945.

Franz Bäke's 106th Pz Bde was committed in late September to counter attack the US advancing across France in the Lorraine area near Mairy where it was decimated by the US 90th Division in less than 24 hours after being committed. The main problems for the unit were lack of experianced personnel, an inability to coordinate effort, lack of combined arms support, and an ignorance on the part of the command staff, Bäke included, in how to effectively fight the US versus how they had learned to fight the Soviets in the East.
So lopsided was the outcome that the official 90th Division histories barely discuss destroying this panzer brigade brushing off the encounter as little more than a minor diversion of attention.
