| 20 | Identifications seem to indicate that elements of the German Erdmann GAF Div are holding the line with bn Rumanski bn Greving bn Hoffman II Luftwaffe Festung Bn, III Luftwaffe Festung bn and 437 Marche bn, all occupying areas of the German def to our front. Some of these bn mentioned are at very low establishment, in most cases having 300-400 men, and in some cases i.e. bn Greving and II Luftwaffe Festung bn there are but 200 men in the bn as a whole. Despite their obvious state of bn disorg they are proving a tenacious enemy who refuses to retreat until he is made to by force of contact. |
