	Brandenburgers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Again, the Brandenburgers were to play a role, with a large 54 man team from III./Regiment Brandenburg (the Sudeten and Slavic battalion) seizing the vital dockyards at Orşova on the Danube a day before the opening of the campaign.
		During the 1942 advance of Heeresgruppe Süd in Ukraine, the Brandenburgers revived their role from the early days of the campaign, forging ahead of the Panzer columns, seizing bridges, road and rail junctions, and attacking the Soviet command and control structure.
		The Brandenburg Division became Infanterie-Division Brandenburg (mot), was equipped as a motorised infantry division and transferred to the Eastern front.

	Brandenburger Regiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brandenburger Regiment evolved from the Abwehr's (German military intelligence) K-units and was used as a commando unit during the first years of the war.
		Units of Brandenburgers operated in almost all fronts - the invasions of Poland, Denmark and Norway, in the Battle of France, in Operation Barbarossa, in Finland, Greece and the invasion of Crete, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
		In September 1944, the Brandenburgers were transferred from OKW to the Heer and reorganized as the Panzergrenadier Division Brandenburg, an ordinary motorized infantry division.

		During the court martial of Breaker Morant, the commando strategy of the Boer resistance- clearly a concept both new and startling to British military thought- was cited as mitigation for the summary execution by Morant and his comrades as prisoners of war.
		The Brandenburgers conducted a mixture of covert and conventional operations but became increasingly involved in ordinary infantry actions and were eventually converted to a Panzer-Grenadier Division, suffering heavy losses in Russia.
		Italy's Commandos of World War I, the Arditi, were not reformed in World War II, and their most renowned Commandos became the Decima Flottiglia MAS who, from mid-1940, were responsible for the sinking and damage of a considerable tonnage of Allied ships in the Mediterranean.
