Nice posts. Source(s)? Checked the Kriegsgliederung des Feldheeres of 25 Oct 42 (NARA Film T-78/406) for 22.PzDiv (Frame 6-376064) and 27. PzDiv (Frame 6-376072). Basically, the organizations you present conform to those presented there. There are a few minor variations not worth mentioning, (beside...

Hi, Here's the exact text in German [square brackets my inserts]: "... Ende Dezember [1942] eine Besprechung aller deutscher Verbindungsoffiere abgehalten, um erneut zu prüfen ob und wie die vom OKH angeregte direkte Befehlsübernahme im Falle eines sowjetischen Angriffes möglich sein würde. All...

CORPS z.b.V. CRAMER [I have combined von Witzleben's report and General Cramer's statements] [See also the current thread dealing with the Panzerverband zbV 700 - 'A REALLY Hard One!!!'] After the OKH promised German reinforcements, the question arose just exactly how these reinforcements were to be...

Please accept my thanks for your contributions. I have long been interested in the Panzerverband zbV 700, as it formed one of the two main tank conponents of the Hungarian Second Army during the fighting in January 1943, and I had found little original material besides the remarks made in the variou...

Hi Mr. Mark, Sorry, I did not express myself correctly. What I meant by order numbers was not the order number for the NARA films, but the nomencalture of the German order on the documents. Something like "OKH/GenStb.d.H./Org.Abt. I/445566/42 geh.Kdos." For Hgr B substitute OKH by "He...

Outstanding material, Mr. Mark. Do you have a copy of the -Anlage- 16.10.1942 From OKH ? Is it possible to indicate the order numbers for these documents, please? I wonder where the 1. Pz.Sp.Kp./Aufkl.Lehr.Abt. comes in, if at all. Maybe a later substitution for the Personal Einheit (or maybe even t...

Many thanks for your kind greetings. Nice to be back. Feel right at home. The armored recon company was the 1. Lehrschwadron (Panzerspäh))/Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung commanded by Oblt Waldow – designated as “Kompanie Waldow” as well as "700 Panzerspähkompanie", (don't know if either of the...

Thanks for the note.

As a new member, I send you all Greetings. A few more facts to liven up the discussion. Enjoy. I have added my translations in italics and my remarks in [square brackets]. Um auch den ung. GenStChef Szombathelyi zu befriedigen, versprach ihm das OKH die Verstärkung der ung. 2. Armee durch Neuzuführu...
