Hans Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 on 23rd May, 1940 that stopped a French counter-attack directed at Dury (the attack came n from the south south west of the Amiens bridgehead. Anyone know what divisional units might have been there at that time frame? Recommendation on sources? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I know that the 21.ID was involved in the Amiens bridgehead, but am away from my sources at the moment. Depending on where I left their unit history, I should be able to get you some info before the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Thanks Andreas Any info you have on that time frame would be appreciated. Do you have this book Die 1. Panzer-Division 1935-1945 by R. Stove ISBN 3-7909-0027-3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Yes. But I have not even started to read it yet, and I am currently unable to tell you whether it is in storage or not. Can you email me with your specific questions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 I meant to say that I have it but I haven't read it yet and wanted your opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well I have it too, so once you have read it, let me know your opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Okay, finally got round to digging out the divisional history of 21.ID (that one is well worth reading, BTW). Turns out my memory is faulty, and I mistook Aisne for Amiens in it. 21. ID defended and attacked at Rethel, further to the east, not at Amiens. You should have some info on that in the 1.PD history as well. Sorry Hans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
