Bonjour/Hello

I am looking for precise locations of staffunits in january 1918 periode for Kommando flak 5 Armee probably somewhere near Verdun?
Who was commander or other staff officers at the time? Where was 5th Armee HQ?

Thanks a lot Gunnar

By any chance, do you also now which koflak or AOK was acting at serbian/makedonija front in 1916-1918 periode? Or even its commander(s) and locations. I have at least one (unidentified) flak unit was active there as part of (an) AOK.

Hi again Jeroen

It was Koflak 11 which was stationed in Macedonia together with Koluft 11and and Kofl 11. (also AFP 11)
Not entirely sure but think all units were stationed at ûsküb (at least partly)...!?

I have Hptm Herbert Schumann as Koflak 11 until spring 1918, dont knew when he took command...

Roughly I think Koflak 11 might have consisted of 10 to 20 Flak units...
It might be possible to find order of battles for 11th Army in some military books/works and also in Freiburg archive...

Hope it helps little

Gunnar

Hello Jeroen,

HQ of german 5. Armee was in Montmédy in January 1918. It was there for most of the time in 1917/1918.

During the mainbattle of Verdun in 1916 it was located in Stenay.
