Re: 4./Pz Rgt 4 in Nov Dec 44?
Neill, according to its war diary the 4. Kp. saw no action during that time. It waited for new tanks, attended different training courses etc. until it was decided they were to take over the tanks ofthe 2 Kp. Martin Block Simon, I'm afraid you confused this with the new 4./Pz.Rgt. 4 which only came ...

Re: Final Position of I./Pz.Rgt 24
Neill, according to the regimental history the I./Pz.Rgt. 24 blew up its last few Panthers (don't know exactly how many) on the northern outskirts of Lietzen (a small town some 100 km southeast of Salzburg) during the late afternoon of May 9, 1945. Lietzen lies just north of the river Enns which was...

Re: MP43/Stg44 - Div Nordland
Can't tell when exactly the division received it first Sturm-Gewehr 44, but numbers appear to have been limited anyway. On 1.1.1945 the division reported having just 135 of them. In contrast to hat there were 578 other German machine pistols and 5465 rifles (including 26 Maschinen Karabiner 43). Mar...

Re: Panzer IVG, when was the 7,5cm KwK 40 L/48 used?
On 30.4.1943 German Quartermaster General records for the first time distinguished between the Pz. IV with the L/43 and the L/48 gun. By that date all existing Pz. IV equipped units reported having only Pz. IV L/24 and L/43 on hand. None already had received any Pz. IV L/48, although a total of 105 ...

Re: TO&E of Panzer Aufklarungs units
Hi Alan, Now that you mention it - I had plans to considerably update the 4 year old Sd.Kfz. 233 list, but due to given circumstances I didn't get that far until now. While I'm still pretty save with the other allocations mentioned there, it looks like I need to correct myself in the case of 2. SS.P...
