John Kettler Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Found these while trying to find some info on composition of GPW Motor Rifle units, a subject on which I know effectively nothing. Has head count, weapons, rank, ammo load, grenade load and more. One interesting tidbit is that the ASL typically had an SVT-40, having both the experience to use it most effectively and the technical skills to keep this weapon far more complex than a Mosin operating properly.https://www.battleorder.org/ussr-rifle-co-1943https://www.battleorder.org/ussr-rifle-co-1944 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 "the major change that came in early 1944 was the conversion of 1 of 3 Rifle Platoons into a Submachine Gun Platoon" In the summer of 1943 actually. "штат № 05/40 in December 1944" I am not sure that this TO&E was implemented in fact. May be just in some of the guards divisions. 1× Section Commander, Jr. Sergeant (OR-5) or Sergeant (OR-6), armed with 1 PPSh-41/PPS-43 Submachine Gun 1× Deputy Section Commander (Senior Rifleman), Yefreytor (OR-4), armed with 1 Mosin-Nagant or SVT-40 Rifle** 1× Light Machine Gunner, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 DP-27 Light Machine Gu Mistake: actually LMG gunner was deputy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
