Infanterie Regiment 54

[Chris Noble]

Good evening,

Is there a history of this unit or the division? I am particularly interested in their period occupying the sector at Mericourt in 1917.

Kind regards,

Chris

There is a Regimental history but it doesn‘t appear to be available online

Hello,

The regimental history is only part 1 (until September 1916), further volumes were never published.

Hi Charlie and Jan. 

Thanks for the information, it's a shame nothing was published after 1916.

Best wishes to you both,

Chris

Ten years after he published the reg. history the author published a small booklet on the history of the regiment. Maybe with new information in comparison to 1928?

Hello,

The series "Die Tradition des deutschen Heeres" was published for the Wehrmacht to explain the tradition of the units. Content wise, they are as good as worthless...
