Gildwiller1918 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Another new item, WW2 German Flak collar tab and shoulder board set for the 79th Regiment. Still researching info on this unit for now. 4 Quote
Fritz Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I think the R on the shoulder pieces denotes Reserve Flak Regiment 79 or Reserve Flak Abteilung 79, however, best to check that. 3 Quote
Gildwiller1918 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Posted September 2, 2021 Thanks Fritz. I will see what I can dig up. 3 Quote
Fritz Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 This was all I found: Die leichte Flak-Abteilung 79 (mot) wurde im Oktober 1944 aus der leichten Flak-Abteilung 757 mit drei leichten Batterien gebildet und beim III. Flakkorps eingesetzt. Im November 1944 unterstand sie dem Stab des Flak-Sturm-Regiments 3 bei der 2. Flak-Division, ab Dezember 1944 dem Stab des Flak-Regiments 8 bei der 1. Flak-Brigade. No mention of "Reserve". 3 Quote

Fritz Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 We still don't know about the Reserve unit, but keep looking. 3 Quote
