Hi Anyone have combat ready tank strength of 116th panzer divison on 01st June 1944 ? it mean how many Pz IV and Panther ready for action It's rather complicated. What I have is: Pz.-Regt. 16: Gefechtsstand – les Andelys Kdr.: Major Hans-Georg Lüder II. Btl. Kdr.: Hauptmann d.R. Friedrich Graf von ...

Anyway, the summaries were just that, summaries of the units reports at end of day, 22:00, so were snapshots of the unit status at that time, they weren't cumulative at all, I think you may have been confused by the report title. I meant they'd be a total at the point of compilation of the summary ...

I would always have assumed the War Diary, being a digest of daily unit and combat reports passed upwards , would necessarily not always be in tune with something like WO 235/636 "A.F.V. States Summaries by 21st Army Group, June, July 1944" and WO 235/636 "Daily A.F.V. States, Second...

Hi Rich, Thanks for the clarification. Any thought's on Michaels post and his theory of Churchills lost on this date. Could the War Diary be that wrong. I was expecting a couple of tanks here or there but War Diary's 39 versus your WO 235/636 33? I suppose the short answer is yes? Regards David :D ...

Hi Michael, :D Thanks for the extra info. Could you (or Rich) elaborate on the source for your figures of 31st Tank Brigade strength. WO 235/636 "A.F.V. States Summaries by 21st Army Group, June, July 1944" and WO 235/636 "Daily A.F.V. States, Second Army Summaries, June, July 1944&q...

Thanks for information. I have also checked a book of Burkhart Mueller-Hillebrand and discovered there a report on the availability of tanks in Group Army South as of 20.11.1943. Hi again Igorn, I rather suspect that MH took that from the 20 November G.I.d.Pz.-Tr. report. What is important to reali...

Gents, The strength of 7. Panzer-Division and 19. Panzer-Division as of November 1943 I couldn't find in Jentz book. Maybe somebody can provide these info. Best Regards from Russa, Hi Igorn, From the OKH Dekade Reports filed by the G.I.d.Pz.Tr. Unfortunately the dates between weren't recorded. It's...

Did the "Wehrgeologen" had an own sign? My grandfather was "Wehrgeologe from 1942-1945, and so i want to find more out, about these units. Not really answering your question, but I hadn't noticed this thread before. I have found the following Wehrgeologen units in Ob. West as of circ...

Maybe of interest: Zustandsbericht 11.PD 1st August 1944 Jan-Hendrik Very interesting Jan! Thanks. Do you have any idea why they had over 1,500 personnel leave the division for miscellaneous reasons in July? Was there a transfer of personnel to another division or divisions? I am also curious what ...

Ok, let's do the Calais coast.    MAA 204    Hqs: Ostend       MKB Malo Terminus (four 19,4cm)       MKB St.Pol-Sur-Mer (three 14,5cm) Hi Leo, Happy New Year! I've done some digging and I'm beginning to think that may be incorrect? From what I have found the Malo Terminus Battery was not part of MA...

Here is a start. Marine-Artillerie-Abteilung 244 Formed 5.40 in Lager Altengroden with 3 companies. In June 1940 to Calais, while Stab/MAA244 was renamed Stab/MAA282, and was replaced by a new Stab. 1942 had 4 batteries with the following names: Prinz Heinrich Fort Lopin Bastion II Malo Terminus In...

Hello Rich Unfortunately not, the information is from the Gen Pz. Trp. West files and they start at the end of August 1944, when he was installed. Typo: should read Pz.Inst.Abt 551. Cheers Hans Thanks Hans, that was what I was afraid of. I suppose the organization and units probably didn't change m...

As units at his disposal he started out with the following Panzerinstandsetzungseinrichtungen: Pz. Inst. Abt. 531 Pz. Inst. Abt (bo) Paris Pz.Kw.Werkstatt.Kp. 656 Pz.Kw.Werkstatt.Kp 928 Pz.Kw.

Jan-Hendrik Hi Jan-Hendrick, According to the 10. Armee Panzerlage by 18 July 1944 they had begun to receive Jagdpanzer IV (or possibly StuG, the record isn't clear?) to augment the Hornisse, they show an Ist of three Jagdpanzer/tuG on that date, which may have been transferred from HG Division bef...
