Hello!

Doesn´t sound familiar to me but on my site: http://www.wwiidaybyday.com you can look for the emblem in different categories. Go to the emblem section and maybe you have luck in the geometric emblems section...

Hello! Basically all companies/batteries were written in arabic numbers 1 - 18, battalions/Abteilungen/ in roman numbers I - III How they abbreviate it depends on the context it is written. In a unit diary you would certainly see just 11./125 which would mean 11.company of infantry regiment 125. In ...

Hello!

Nachrichtenabteilung 30 was element of the 30.Infanteriedivision. A Nachr.Abt. was responsible for setting up communication lines within the division and to other units.

Go here for a history of the 30.Inf.Div.: http://www.feldgrau.com/30i.html

Hello!

If you have the time go through the daily reports on my site. They show all the transports from France to the east. Maybe it is helpfull although just online until February 1941 yet.

Sorry, Xavier! No U-boat emblems on my site!

Yes, Rudi had to do "business" in Europe and is back again. He said that he needs to get used to the new forum now.
You know... older men and changes! :-)

Nix für ungut Rudi!

Christoph

HEllo!

You should be more precise as there are hundreds of them.

Infanterie, Artillerie, Panzer... Kompanie, Stab, Rgts.Stab, s.Kp., Nachr.Kp...... etc. lots of variations.

Hello!

It was a Infanteriedivision and was formed out of elements of 340.Inf.Div., 167.Inf.Div. and Führer-Nachwuchsschulen in Wehrkreis XI in the area Rosslau.

David you have to face it... At the beginning of the war you would have needed a barracks-complex to house a Panzerdivision.
In 1945 it would fit into a school building and the tanks on the teachers car park.

According to a Gliederung of Müncheberg David sent me we can say following men-strength (SOLLSTÄRKE) for its special Gliederung: Divisionskommando: 420 (some men minus for the missing Kartenstelle) 1 Panzerabteilung (just three companies): appr. 680 1 Radfahr-Pz.Gren.Rgt.: 1170 (without M.G.Kp.(mot....

As there seem to be many "versions" of how Müncheberg was organized I think it was not a division organized as Pz.Div.45 or Kpfgr.Pz.Div.45 but a special mixture. It seems to have 2 Pz.Abteilungen but just one Pz.Gren.Rgt., a Nachr.Kp. like the Kpfgr. for example. It could well be a specia...

Hello! I must admit that I didn´t follow the Muncheberg thread as it is generally interesting but absolutely not my area of research right now. HAve to keep my time and brain free for my projects. So it was just a oppinion of me not to doubt the provided numbers... I think Kamen also used original s...

I strongly doubt that there was a single unit at full strength at this time. What source does this assumption come from? Maybe he refers to tanks, SPW´s, vehicles, men in combat formations, just the men in the mixed tank regiment, just the men of the PzGrenRgter. etc..... A fully equiped, maned divi...
