waldo Posted 10 March , 2012 Share Posted 10 March , 2012 I have the 63d Infantry Division mobilizing into the 7th Army in Odessa in the Aug Sept 1914 time frame. It then turns up in Warsaw in time for the Warsaw-Ivangorod Operation in early Oct. Does anyone know when it transferred from Odessa & arrived in Warsaw? waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a time span to wonder about, it would seem. Bob Lembke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote a long bio of Bernhard Reddemann that includes information you've posted here, and he credits you. The museum wants to write a history of the G-R-P-R, so they'd love to talk to you. Mr. Schamberger speaks almost perfect English. Contact him using the e-mail address at their Web site: http://www.dfm-fulda.de/ Sorry to go off topic, but your mailbox is full. This is the only way to get your attention. Drop him a line. He's a very nice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lembke Bob, I'm studying the Warsaw-Ivangorod Operation and would like to learn whether the dispatch of the 63d was intended to reinforce the Warsaw front or was directed elsewhere & rerouted in response to the German attack. I don't know much about the state of Russian RRs but I have read repeatedly that during the opening months of the war, the RRs were able time and again to deliver or reroute corps to arrive in the nick of time at crucial sectors. waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
