Swiss 2nd Army Corps - Operationsbefehl No 12

[Task and Position] [Order of Battle]

Task and Position

The 2nd corps had to provide cover of the Northern border between Solothurn and Brugg to Zurich and Schaffhausen. Quite a long front for the three divisions and three border brigades.

Order of Battle 17./24.7.40

The OOB of the individual units was thorougly re-done to cope with the difficult task to cover this length of a front with only three divisions and three border brigades. The group "Brugg" was the 5th (reinforced) border brigade - it seems to have taken the name, since it operated like a normal division in the defensive line.
