A Feldgendarmerie General Major[who?],

"The Feldgendarmerie was under the direct control of the German High Command O.K.H (Oberkommando des Heeres). A Feldgendarmerie General Major[who?]."

Its not a matter of a who (person) but a position, General der Feldgendarmerie. So the [who?] should be removed. 193.11.50.23 (talk) 15:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Early History/Other MP Troops

Edited and added some informations.

Sidecars with mounted MGs were not regulary used by the Feldgendarmerie. The majority of their lighter vehicles were motorcycles and cars, they had just a few sidecars. The sidecars with maounted MGs were typicaly from the so called Kradschuetzen, an extremely fast and heavy armed troop of mechanized infantry, because they had more MGs compared to normal infantry (one MG for a team of three soldiers (driver and two passengers on a sicecar)). But the Kradschuetzen were disbanded after the war in France as a troop of it's own, most of them were integrated into the armoured reconnaissance troops or used as dispatch riders.
