Zug = (singular) platoon Züge = (plural) platoons [note the umlaut] Both the singular and plural can be abbreviated as Zg. Note that the word Zug can also mean a whole lot of other things, like a (railroad) train, or (wind) draft, draw (like in pull), traction (like towing), etc. Consult a German-E...

Sorry, I don't exactly understand the question.
There were independent platoons, as well as platoons belonging to companies and larger units.
You say you know the difference between company and platoon. So where's the problem?

My German WWII Organizational Series is now available for downloading. After the troubles I have had the latest publishers, I have dropped the idea of doing any further books. Note, these are the versions that I submitted to the publishers at the corresponding time. Results of further, later researc...

The Royal Hungarian Army 1920 – 1945 Initially thought to be the first of several volumes, I have since dropped the idea of publishing any further books. Instead, the book is being converted to HTML. First chapters have been uploaded. The (new) web pages include additions, changes, amendments, etc....

Nachschub = Supply

If I may get preachy for a minute: The link you refer to shows an organizational diagram, not a TOE. The Germans did not have combined T/O&E such as the late US Army lists, but each unit one or more tables of organization (KStN) and tables of equipment (KAN). The KStN ( Kreigsstärkenachweisung ) [Ta...

What's the latest?

Yeees! Home again.
Thank you.

Well, nothing has changed. I forced a reload (Ctrl + F5): not change.

I logged in via a different browser (Chrome): still do not see the "formatting" buttons.

And the "Options" at the bottom doesn't work either.

Here is what I see. Nothing at the top.
The 'Options' button brings nothing.

Hi Richard,
Like the clean look. And I appreciate the little avatar next to my name at the top when logged in. Good work.
