Sequoia Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I could have sworn I saw Steve post that Kriegsmarine Infanterie would be included in the Market-Garden Module but now I can't find the post. Was I hallucinating (or has there been a change of plans)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I think i remember that as well and it is unlikely that we were both having the same halucinations independent of each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I remember someone saying there was going to be KM troops, but I don't think it was Steve. I think it was in one of the threads about what units are and are not in the Gustav Line module for FI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedorf81 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah, you're right. The Kriegsmarine Infanterie (Navy infantry) was part of a hastily assembled German defense force, consisting of nearly any soldier that could be missed from the occupied part of the Netherlands, in order to contain the western side of the British landings at Arnhem. The Kriegsmarine boys were originaly mainly based on the Dutch coast as part of the Atlantikwalldefense. After the Normandylandings and the Scheldelandings, they must have felt lucky, since another amphibious assault on the Dutch North Seacoast would be very unlikely. So their chances of getting through the rest of the war without having to fight were promising. They probably didn't like it very much to leave their bunkers with a seaview to fight paratroopers inland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if mistaken, but as stated the kriegsmarine was present in the battle of Arnhem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
