]ok, mates here are the maps, the location is just south-east of Ramushevo.

This map shows the first positions of the Frikorps. The few positions south of the Robja river belonged to Totenkopf.
Brohoved = Bridgehead
the cross marks the F.D. cemetery



The second map shows the first positions as well but also the attack on Bolschoj Dubowizy
B.D. = Bolschoj Dubowizy
F.D. = Attack by Frikorps Danmark, the arrow shaped positions shows a bataillon from Totenkopf covering the flanks


Hope you guys can use it!
