    Thanx a lot Gentleman.

    As far as the Ordbat are concerned, my problem is that it generally doesn't include the Pioneer corps companies but thanx for mentioning it ;)
    I'll go to this Pioneer forum it looks like there are some interesting info there.

    Thanx again.

    No problem, wikipedia has some information as well regarding the 12th Eastern Infantry Division that was sent to France in 1940 as a pioneer corps. The remnants of which were amalgamated into the 56th and 78th divisions as the 169th Infantry Brigade and 36th Infantry Brigade, it doesn't say if these were pioneer corps in their later formations though.
