LandesschÃ¼tzen battalions

LandesschÃ¼tzen-battalion (L.Sch.)

History

Territorial/local defense or territorial infantry units made of older personnel commonly used for guard and garrison duties. Lack of better German combat troops forced these units into anti-partisans operations for which they were badly prepared. In the last months of the war many of these battalions were disbanded to replaces losses suffered by front line divisions.

LandesschÃ¼tzen belonged to the German Replacement Army (Ersatzheer) not regular Field Army (Feldheer).
