Wach-Bataillon 571:

The Guard Battalion 571 was set up as an army force on August 26, 1939 by Military District XIII in Nuremberg. The battalion was used under the Korück 570 in Army Group South in Poland and from September 3, 1939 under the Korück 540 in the 10th Army. In 1940 the battalion moved west to Korück 583 with the 2nd Army. After the start of the Russian campaign, the battalion joined the 18th Army in northern Russia. In the winter of 1942/43, the battalion received a 4th and 5th Ukrainian company, a 6th Turkestan company and a 7th Georgian company. In February 1943 it was subordinate to the Higher Commander of Supply Troops 3 in Southern Russia. On July 15, 1943, the battalion became Supply Battalion 571, with transfers to Supply Battalions 119 and 151.

Due to its renaming, the battalion was under Army Group North Ukraine from spring 1944 and Army Group A from September 1944. The battalion was then under this until January 1945, when the superordinate unit was finally renamed Army Group Center. Most recently, the battalion was deployed in Poland and Silesia.
