Preekuln (Priekule) in Latvia


Recommended Posts

Hi!

This little city has (if I'm not wrong) been the subject for fighting in 1941 as well as 1945. I have some idées about making some scenarios about this and has find, to start with, those sites:

It's actually some quite handy sites about Latvia, but I have problems about the size about the city. I can't find anything that tells me how big the pictures/maps is?

1941.06.25 took the 505. IR (colonel Lohmeyer) the town. I assume that it belonged to the 18. army but does anyone know what division?

Someone who knows anything about the Russian forces who was in the area at that time?

Thanks for your tip, I'm still looking for some better maps, but your useful links helped me a lot, especially about the OOB.

Andreas, your link is a goldmine! Luckily, Swedish people can understand 15-20% of the German language, but you inspire me to study that lingo again.
