AAC / Gruppe Mihiel / Abschnitt E


Location plan of “Abschnitt E”. This sector had three subsectors, which the Germans referred to as “Unterabschnitte”, designated with the Roman numerals I, II and III. The Abschnitt held a military status equivalent to a division. The headquarters of Abschnitt E was located along the slope of the ridge near Heudicourt-sous-les-Côtes.

On LiDAR, the foundations of the barracks of this former divisional headquarters are still visible. The main building was located at the coordinates: 48°56'0.30"N 5°39'56.79"E.

Below is a list of the various units that coordinated their command from this location. This list is not complete, as I am still missing several older military staff maps from other dates.

  • June 1918: 201. Infanterie-Division (Generalleutnant Ludwig Bachelin)
  • September 1918: 192. Infanterie-Division (8. Königlich Sächsische)
