Well, I have to admit I am stuck here, working on a scenario based upon the
4/5th Battalion, The Royal Scots Fusiliers during Operation Blackcock and the fighting for Lind in the Netherlands
18th January 1945
I have determined that their opposition was the German 176th Infanterie Division (attached to
XII SS Corps, 15th Armee) but here is where I come up against a brick wall, none of my books
(or searching Google) tell me what infantry regiment faced the British, it has to be either the
Grenadier-Regiment 1218, Grenadier-Regiment 1219, Grenadier-Regiment 1220
or Divisions-Füsilier-Bataillon 176
But how do I determine which? I am just going round in circles, I can't figure it out
Anyone got any ideas?
