Panzerdivision in 1943. I suspect you might have a transcription error as I do not believe that any units of the 14. fought in North Africa, but were in fact on the eastern front. I am still trying to track down the FLAK battalion.<br /><br />Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791378207125026635.post-17755453532949824262011-08-22T21:47:48.919+01:002011-08-22T21:47:48.919+01:00Hello, thanks.
