The Russian Guards were ordinary formations given the honorary title "Guards" for proven combat performance. i hate to tell you, but this is another myth :) at least independent guards heavy tank regiments and brigades got 'guards' title in advance, same goes IMHO also to guards rocket la...

These Infanteriegeschützkompanien were independent units which were just attached to tank divisions during the France campaign and also during the Balkan campaign. They were not organic element of any division. sorry for nitpicking, but weren't they attached directly to schützenregiment/-brigade of...

on Dr. Niehorster site (right now not working) for example all PzDiv's of Heeresgruppe Nord (PzGr 4) were shown with just 3 sFH batteries in schwere Art.Abt. No signs of 10 cm Kanone battery.

"Microfilm ID T315, Record Group 242 roll 1095 has the Division's Daily War Diary (KTB) from June 15 to Dec. 11 1941. " "roll 1996 contains the Anlage to the KTB; " well, i think second roll number should be 1096. Usually anlagenband follows KTB closely. Can Robert confirm this ?...

uncle joe,

can you give some of his points ? and number of journal ?

i have paperback version of this volume, called 'Der Angriff auf die Sowjetunion' and it has some (i think most) tables and maps left out because of 'printing issues'.

K.St.N. Nr.1150e, Stabskompanie einer schweren Panzerabteilung "Tiger", 1.Nov.1943 is available here:
