Artillerie Regiment 182
The photo album
This photo album is a record of the activities of Artillerie Regiment 182 during the battle of France in 1940. There is very little information available about this regiment so it is hoped that putting the photo album on the Internet will help.
The 182nd Artillery Regiment (Artillerie Regiment in German) was composed of four battalions (1. Abteilung - 2. Abteilung - 3. Abteilung - 4.
