Prosper,

Thanks for replying, that saves me looking for files that don't exist...

I did find a summary of sorts in two books:
Concord publ. "Panzers in Italy 1943-45", by Tom Cockle
Osprey publ. "The German army 1939-45 (5) Western front 1943-45", by Nigel Thomas

Regards,

Marc

I made pics of the text in the Osprey book. It's far from complete, but it's a start.

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