The Panzerkorps ''Feldherrnhalle'' was a German panzer corps formed in October 1944 from the remaining troops of the IV. Armeekorps, the Storm Division ''Rhodos'' and Panzer-Grenadier-Brigade 17〔(structure of the Korps )〕 formed mostly of SA recruits. The Panzerkorps ''Feldherrnhalle'' fought on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. ==Concept== The ''Feldherrnhalle'' units were the combat formations which drew manpower from the SA, a Nazi organization that traced its history back to the days of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. The corps was named after the Feldherrnhalle in Munich where the attempted coup was crushed by the German state. The initial unit, the ''SA-Standarte Feldherrnhalle'' (a ''Standarte'' was an organization of regimental size) was formed after the death of Ernst Röhm on Night of the Long Knives, when the SA's position as the major paramilitary formation of the NSDAP was taken over by the SS. It was made up of the most promising SA men drawn from SA units all over Germany. The ''Standarte'' was a not a combat unit. Its role was to provide guard units for SA government offices around Nazi Germany. The Feldherrnhalle Regiment is captioned as the "Old Guard SA Feldherrnhalle Regiment" in the massive revue parade from Leni Riefenstahl's ''Triumph of the Will''. In March 1938, men from the ''Standarte'' were among the first units which marched into Austria during the Anschluss. In September 1938, the ''Feldherrnhalle'' was placed under the control of the Wehrmacht, and the cadre of the unit was transferred to the Luftwaffe, forming the ''Luftlande-Regiment'' (glider infantry regiment) Feldherrnhalle, a part of the ''7. Flieger-Division''. The remainder of the regiment was transferred to the Heer, forming the ''120. Infanterie-Regiment (mot)'' of the ''60. Infanterie-Division (mot)'' and ''271. Infanterie-Regiment'' of the ''93. Infanterie-Division''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Panzer Corps Feldherrnhalle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
