The 31st SS Volunteer Grenadier Division was a unit of the German armed forces during World War II. It was formed from Germans, Hungarians and ''Volksdeutsche'', mostly from the Bačka in September 1944. The division is sometimes given the title ''Batschka''. By November 1944 it was in action on the Hungarian Front. In January 1945 it was sent to Austria and reformed as a type 45 Division, with only two battalions in each regiment and only three platoons in each company.〔German Order of Battle, Volume 3 By Samuel W. Jr Mitcham p.188〕 The division then joined the 17th Army in Silesia where it was surrounded by the Red Army; it surrendered near Hradec Králové in May 1945.〔 ==Commander== *''SS Brigadeführer'', Gustav Lombard 1 Oct 1944 to April 1945 *''SS Brigadeführer'' Wilhelm Trabandt April 1945 to May 8, 1945 According to Pencz Lombard was O/C until the Divisions destruction in 1945. Trabandt was commander of SS kampfgruppe (sometimes referred to as Division Bohmen-Mahren). This is often confused with 31st SS but is not the same unit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「31st SS Volunteer Grenadier Division」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
