Heeres Sturmgeschütz Brigade 311

Following the start of the Russian winter offensive on January 12, 1945, from the Baranow bridgehead, the brigade was forced to withdraw. It was transported by rail to Upper Silesia and deployed near Ratibor, Zobten, Breslau, and Neisse. The brigade engaged in heavy defensive fighting near Ziegenhals and Bautzen. After the formation of a grenadier escort battery, the brigade was renamed Army Assault Artillery Brigade 311 on April 3, 1945. At the beginning of May 1945, the brigade was deployed north of Dresden. It was taken prisoner near Olomouc at the end of the war.
