The Sturmbrigade Reichsführer-SS was a German military unit of World War II. It was formed in February 1943 when Adolf Hitler ordered the Begleit-Bataillon Reichsführer-SS (Heinrich Himmler's escort battalion), which had proved itself in battle, be upgraded to the status of an assault brigade or Sturmbrigade thus Sturmbrigade Reichsführer SS was established. It was upgraded in France and remained stationed there until the invasion of Italy in September 1943 when it was sent south with the 505. Artillerie Bataillon (sf). The brigade was stationed in Corsica where it served as part of the garrison until 8 September 1943, when heavy fighting broke out on the island between the Sturmbrigade and the Italian 20th Infantry Division ''Friuli'' and 44th Infantry Division ''Cremona''. Along with the 90th Panzergrenadier Division coming from Sardinia the brigade broke through to Bastia in Northern Corsica, from where the German units were evacuated in the first days of October 1943. Afterwards the brigade was sent to Italy and reorganized into the 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division Reichsführer-SS. ==Composition== Sturmbrigade Reichsführer SS - SS-Ostubaf. Karl Gesele I.
