Somebody can explain me what were Marsch bataillonen and Alarm kompanien?
German Special Unit (Besondere Deutsche Einheit)

"Marsch-Bataillone" were temporarily combined units to bring personnel replacement
from behind to the front."Alarm-Kompanien" were units assembled in critical situations merely from personnel
that was not originally combat-ready (cooks, maintenance, clerks, signals a.s.o.).Greetings
