Scope and content

History of the Inventory Designer: In August 1943, the construction troops were taken over as pioneers and the superstructure staffs for the most part as higher pioneer leaders in the pioneer weapon. Special tasks were fulfilled by landing pioneers, mine detection and clearance units, road construction battalions as well as state pioneer regiments and battalions from older age groups who had to keep bridges open in the Reich territory and, if necessary, restore them and extend air-raid shelters. Characterisation of the contents: The documents of the pioneer battalion 47 (garrison: Munich) set up in 1935 date back to 1922 with previous files (approx. 220 units). A number of pre-war files (approx. 100 AU) from Pionierbataillon 7 (Rosenheim) and about 45 files from 1939/40 from Pionier-Sperrkolonne have also been preserved. Apart from that, only fragments of written material from numerous formations, mainly from the 2nd World War, have survived (see below). Also worth mentioning is the collection of operational reports of individual pioneer units from the first years of the war compiled by the Pioneer History task force of the Pioneer Department (In 5) of the General Army Office.
