juan_gigante Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm starting to do research on the 100th Jager Division's actions in Stalingrad. I was thinking about doing a brief series of scenarios from various points in time throughout the battle for the city itself, perhaps focusing on the period around the taking of the Dzerinsky (yeah, I spelled it wrong) Tractor Works. I was looking for recommendations on good books and websites to take a look at. Obscure books are not a problem - I have access to a very large library system at my university. Specifically, I'd be looking right now for TO&E for the 100th's opponents, and any AARs that are out there, but anything on the 100th is cool. Thanks for any help you guys could provide! Edit - I was planning for scenarios to be semi-historical. I'd like to be simulating engagements that at least probably happened with the forces that, had such an engagement occured, probably would have been there. Edit #2 - I only read English, so all those totally awesome German and Russian sources are out unless there's a translation.

Andreas Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You can read numbers in German, I guess. This should set you up for the OOB in case you need that. 100. Jaeger @ LdW All the best Andreas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I've got Glantz' Atlas of Stalingrad. If you give me dates, I'll try to figure out what Soviet unit was on the other side of the Jagers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Okay, I've done some research, and I think there's a lot more info on the division in the late war period, and I've got an interesting action in April of 45 to try - the last offensive action the division took, in Silesia. I'm a little iffy on whether to make an operation or set of battles. It's fighting over the course of a day, both sides being steadily reinforced - perfect for an operation, except I don't like how operations work. Arrgh! Anyways, if I have new questions, I'll ask. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Okay, 2 quick questions - I'm looking for what the TO&E of a German Tank-Hunter Company would be, attached to an infantry regiment. The 1100th, if it matters. I'd assume towed PAKs and perhaps some SP guns, but specifics would be cool. I'm also not sure exactly what force the Jagers were facing. I believe it's in the 4th Guards Tank Corps, but that's all I've got. If somebody could point me in the direction of a good book or website with maps of Silesia, especially in the area of Bremberg, Dolnoslaskie, or Legnickie (40 miles west of Wroclaw) with forces on them, as of April 24th, or thereabouts, that would be super helpful. All I know is that the Soviet force included tank-ridering infantry, which suggests an armored unit. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
