Was the Freiwillige Stamm Division part of the Ersatzheer?
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2003 10:05 am
The Freiwillige Stamm Division trained Eastern Volunteers in France in 1944.
As a training and replacement headquarters it seems that it ought to have fallen under the jurisdiction of the Ersatzheer, but did it?
Similarly, did the various Eastern Volunteer Legions that undertook the training role before the Freiwillige Stamm Division was created belong to the Ersatzheer?
The alternatives are that they were subordinate to the Feldheer or that the whole Eastern Volunteers training organisation was entirely independent of both Feldheer and Ersatzheer.
Can anyone help on this one?
Many thanks,
Sid.
