Re: Complete German oob for war in Italy?

There are units missing, like for example Stug Br 242 and 5 Werfer Brigade. Maybey we could build an oob together?

Sdkfz 221/ 222 in Infanterie Divisionen

I red on Lexicon der Wehrmacht, that ID's of the 1 & 2nd Welle had Sdkfz 221/222 in their Aufklarungs Abteilung.

Were these actualy alotted/ used in WWII? If so were they used throughout the war, or deleted from the KStN and were the divisions ordered to turn them in?

Thanks in advance.
