Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Does anyone know where I can find stats on breakdown of divisions, companies, platoons etc.... (how many men per) Either german or allied forces would suffice. I keep reading about tank squadrons and tank platoons. I just want to be able to know the amount of each.

Scipio Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 German Infantery Division : 16 - 20 Thousand men. Jäger (Ranger) or Gebirgsjäger (Mountainranger?) some less. Tankdivision : one tank regiment, plus several support Battalions like Engineers, AT, Recon, Self-propelled guns... At all 150 to 225 tanks and 20 to 125 Halftracks Check http://www.feldgrau.com/ [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 12-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezmartini Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 twelve men = 1 squad 3 squads + Lt. = rifle platoon 3 rifle platoons + 1 weapons platoon = 1 rifle company 3 rifle companies + 1 Hvy. Weapons platoon = 1 rifle battalion three rifle battalions + one AT company + 1 cannon company + service company + HQ = 1 regiment 3 infantry regiments + 3 arty battalions + recon troop + engy battalion + medic battalion = 1 infantry division A corps was composed of a variable number of divisions, and an army was made up of a variable number of corps. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
