I found my notes on this unit: This unit was formed in France on 07/01/41 with French beute-panzer. With the deterioration of the situation in Russia, the unit was quickly re-equipped with German tanks and rushed to AGN, arriving southwest of Leningrad on 12/17/41. At the end of 1941, the regiment f...

The unit was in the AGN sector by mid-December, 1941, and was disbanded 01/13/43.

I'm trying to decypher a couple of symbols. On the first one, I'd like to know what the abbreviation stands for, and what type of unit it is (15. Panzer-Division 04/15/41). On the second one, I'm totally unfamiliar with this symbol. It's a unit arriving with the 5. leichte Division in Africa. Thanks...

For the Heer, I'd have to say Panzer-Lehr.

Pre-reorganization, and post-reorganization:

Brad

I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. Can someone point me to the NARA roll with info on the 5. leichte Division?

15. Panzer-Division:

5. leichte-Division on 02/19/41, and the 15. Panzer-Division during the first week of 03/41:

What about the Drilling in the Panzergrenadier-Bataillon?

In a Kriegsgliederung for the final organization of the late-war Panzer Brigade from NARA, a notation appears "Drillinge auf Lkw." At first glance, this appears to be a "Drilling" kit mounted on a truck, or is this a reference to the Sdkfz 251/21?
