Hi guys,
Im quite confident that L.Br stands for Lehr-Regiment Brandenburg which was divided between XXXIX. Armeekorps and LVII. Armeekorps. This also corresponds to Lars' map.
Cheers, Mads

The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Lars,
I've searched a bit further concerning the map.
It should actually come from the book "Panzer-operationen" by Hoth.
I'm pretty sure that the year is 1941 and the date should be the day, when the Smolensk pocket was finally closed.
L.Br. refers to Lehr Brigade 900 as stated above.
BR,
Michael
