If you mean 'Sperr-Brigade' 1, check out the panzerarchiv forum. I recall a fairly detailed OB post from Martin Block sometime back.

Hi, Don, this link does not work, Any other link for that ?
And I see Lexikion link about this brigade, it is mixed with two Pion btl, radfahr MG btl and PzJg Abt, is it something like Soviet Tank Destroyer division equipped with AT gun and landmines ? thx

Hello Kelvin,
Unfortunately not (still looking to see if I have filed the original page somewhere). From memory Martins' OB for the unit also included a Pz.Aufkl.Kp. as well. I believe Sperr-Brigade 1 was an 'economy of force' unit similar in role to a Soviet fortified area although the presence of the aforementioned armoured recon unit and attached heavy AT and artillery Abteilungs would appear to broaden its operational capabilities somewhat.
