Abstract
1. Introduction. The wreath product A wr B of a group A by a group B is nilpotent if and only if A is a nilpotent p-group of finite exponent and B is a finite p-group for the same prime p (Baumslag (1)). When A is an Abelian p-group of exponent pk, and B is the direct product of cyclic groups of orders pβ1, …, pβn and β1 ≥ β2 ≥ …, ≥ βn, then Liebeck has shown that the nilpotency class c of A wr B is
