16 and 17 Saper Companies, which unit?

[ChrisW01]

Does anyone know which unit/battalion/division etc within 2 Polish Corps the 16th and 17 Saper Companies belonged to? I have attached a picture of his LEGITYMACJA card. Were they part of 2 Warsaw Armoured Division?



Thanks

Hello Chris,

All that I was able to find was the 16th Workshop Company listed under units serving in 2nd Warsaw Armoured Division, the Engineers for the Division where the 2nd Batalion saperów (2nd Polish Engineer Battalion).

Hope that it helps you

Best wishes

So I dug through some references I had forgotten about and found this vehicle plate/sign color recognition table in the publication OD ,,ACROMY” DO ,,ZWYCIĘZCY” Część 3. The ‘16th Kompania Warsztatowa Saperów’ is referenced as ‘16 Kompania Warsztatowa (Dyw.Panc)’ in this book (see attached picture from pg.140). This Workshop Company was a Subsidiary Non-Divisional Unit of 2 Polish Corps. Appears it was responsible to the 2nd Armored Division (Dywizja Pancerna).
