Motorized Artillery
My understanding is that the leFH18 was "normally" towed by the SdKfz11, but I've seen several references to them also being towed by "trucks". Questions: 1) Was this simply an emergency measure, when the tractors were unavailable? 2) Were there units, which were equipped with tr...

Interesting Books
Have just finished reading Volume I of Otto Weidinger's history of DAS REICH, which covers the period 1934-1939. While it does not go into nearly as much detail about the individual units in action. I found it to be quite interesting as it gives some insight into the formation, training, and early h...

Horse drawn Artillery
Thank you for these. I've been looking for a long time.
Questions:
1) What does "n.A." mean?
2) Is this pretty much the same orgainzation as the early war period?
Thanks again!

Kradschutzen
The kradschutzen served both as motorized infantry and as recon troops. In the early part of the war, when light trucks to carry the motorized infantry were in short supply, it was not unusual to find a motorcycle company in every motorized infantry battalion. Because they could travel cross country...

KStN1111
Thank you. I look at your site quite often. What is the meaning of "Reich"? Does this imply that it is a "home" establishment, i.e. in their home Kaserne, as opposed to a "field" establishment? If so, would the "field" establishment have more "tross"...

KStN
Search for KStN and you'll find the site. It's the one with the long German name that isn't a radio or TV station.

Panzer Recon Units
Look at Christopher's KStN site under Panzereinheiten and then look toward the bottom at the organization of the Panzerspah units(armored cars). Typically, the Recon. Bn. had an armored car company, a motorcycle company, a motorized rifle company and a heavy company. As the war progressed, the motor...

1 to 1
Take a look at the KStN on Christoph's site for actual 1 to 1. Remember that your cooks, clerks, truck drivers, were used as "alarm" units, in case of emergency. Consider using actual platoons or companies to represent larger units. For example, using a Motorized Bn HQ, 3 Rifle Companies, ...
