Olle Petersson Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Originally posted by JasonC: Everybody started with armor heavy.Not totally true. A Swedish tank platoon of 1929 had more than half of the men, including all leaders, on foot, acting close infantry support. The platoon had three squads of eight men; four manning a tank (German LK2) and four (squad leader plus three) on foot. The platoon leader was also on foot, with one or two bicycle orderlies. This is far more organic infantry support than any other tank squad/platoon/company I know of... Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do a heck of a lot against the Germans in 1942, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
