Battle of the Scheldt - War diaries, AAR and Kriegstagebucher

Hello All,

My name is Remi, I have always taken a big interest in the Battle of the Scheldt. I’ve started studying these combat actions. Now I have been searching for war diaries and found quite a lot at the heritage page and recieved some out of different sources. I’m hoping that some of you can help me finding the last few here is a list of what I’m still missing at the moment.

Allied ground forces:

- Le regiment de maissonneuve
- Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal
- The Queen’s Own Cameron Higlanders
- The Toronto Scottish Regiment
- 2nd Canadian Inf division signals (RCCS)
- The North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment
- The North Nova Scotia Highlanders
- The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highladers
- Late Superior regiment
- 1st polish armoured division (including all subunits)
- 79th armoured division
- 30th armoured brigade
- 11th battalion the royal tank regiment
- 1st lothian & border Yeomanry
- 1st assault brigade royal engineers

- 6th assault regiment royal engineers
- 4th special service brigade
- 41 Royal Marine Commando
- 47 Royal Marine Commando
- 48 Royal Marine Commando

- Naval Force T
- Support Squadron Eastern Flank
- Bombardment Squadron
- H LCA Squadron
- N LCT Squadron

German side of combat actions: (I only mention the highest level of the units but obviously i’m also trying to find sub units. I've marked the main units of interest in a bold lettertype

- 15th Army
- 1st Fallschirmjager Army
- Kampfgruppe Chill

- Hermann Goring training regiment

- 64 Infantry Division

- 70 Infantry Division
- Festungstammtruppen LXXXIX
- 245 Infantry Division
- 346 Infantry Division
- 711 Infantry Division
- 719 Infantry Division
- 225 Assault gun brigade

- 244 Army assault gun brigade

- 280 Assault gun brigade

- 202 Marine artillery batallion

- 203 Marine artillery batallion

- 810 Marine flak abteilung
- Hafen kommandant Vlissingen

I realize it is quite and extensive list but all forms of help are very welcome!

Looking forward to your responses!

Remi,

There are multiple threads with the word Scheldt and it is possible some clues lie within. There is a well-known website whose focus is the German military, so it might be worth checking in there: Heer - The WW2 German Army 1935-1945

Good luck and I know nothing about it!

I also have the Lothian's Action Reports for INFATUATE too. Message me if they'd be helpfully to you
