Does anyone know the German regimental commanders for the following (Villers-Bretonneux- April 24, 1918):

Inf-Regt 93 (4th Guards Division)

Inf-Regt 5 (4th Guards Division)

Inf-Regt 419 (77th Reserve Division)

Inf-Regt 257 (77th Reserve Division)

Inf-Regt 332 (77th Reserve Division)

5th Foot Guard (77th Reserve Division)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the German Army Study on the action at Villers-Bretonneux, I was able to pick out only one regimental comander:

Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr 5 - von Kietzell
