GreyC Posted 20 January , 2019 Share Posted 20 January , 2019 (edited) It´s a book about the 251 German DIVISIONS. Not regiments. There were quite a few more regiments around. It´s in English GreyC Edited 20 January , 2019 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Dunlop Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 Please note that the book was compiled from Entente intelligence reports and cannot be regarded as a definitive view of the whereabouts and activities of the divisions. That said, it is a very helpful reference source. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelcave Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 On a minor point, the use of 'Imperial' is inaccurate - the German navy was 'Imperial', the army was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky. Basically, the army as a whole was imperial in the sense that the Emperor was (in principle) in command, yet almost all units were raised by one of the suboprdinate states such as Prussia, Bavaria etc. However, the naval land units (naval infantry, some artillery units etc.) were imperial as well...

Quite the contary. He Was ONLY in command of the whole German Armed Forces in case of war. During peace time he was only in command of the imperial navy (land and sea based units) the Prussian troops and ceremonially of those regiments of other German states that he was "Chef des Regiments" (not commander).
