Hi everyone
I have been searching for ages but I can’t find a picture of 1.ID uniforms or lists of equipment issued - can anyone help? Would also like to know more of the general history of this division - for example does anyone know of veteran’s accounts of their experiences with the 1.ID. particularly in 44/45

no, not really.
Werner Richter’s Die 1. Ostpreussische Infanterie-Division should provide all the details you need.If you can find the book and read German of course.
You should consider yourself a lucky guy if you manage to get your hands on a copy of this extremely rare book from 1975…
The should be nothing special about the uniforms of the 1st (east-prussian) Infanterie-Division.
For the formation, commanders and deployments please look here:

(it’s in german, feel free to ask if something is not understood)
Indeed.There is a couple of pages for the 1I.D in Mitcham’s German order of Battle volume 1.Easier to find.:rolleyes:
One copy of the book was just sold for 70 € on german ebay…:shock:
Most of the good books would sell for £40 and over on Amazon so it’s not that bad.
