Hello
I've found this:
http://www.dasreich.ca/ssreich_41.html
And although it's for June, it's a starting point. My question is, does anyone have a key for the symbology?
Thank you in advance
Take care and good luck

Jason, check your email, I sent you a scan of the "Reich" TOE which is slightly different than the one on Dan's page. I scaned mine from the 46th Panzer Corps microfilm from the NARA. The main difference is that SS Rgt. 11 only has 2 instead of the 3 battalions shown on the other TOE. Dans website also has the officer list I provided him from the same microfilm.

Michael.. I emailed you!
Robert.. Thank you!!!
Wolfkin... brilliant, thank you!!!
A further question:
How would the Sturmgeschütz Batterie be organized. I'm under the impression it would have 6 Stugs. Would they operate as one unit, or 3 units of 2 vehicles.. or?
Thank you in advance!
Take care and good luck

Hello Michael !
Any chance I could get a copy as well ?
I could sure use it to help translate some of the symbols used in the mountain of information forwared to me re: my pet project here "Operation Typhoon".
If you can't - no problem - I'll keep on muddling along!
Best regards -

Hello Jason!
In 1941 the Sturmgeschutze Batterie would have seven StuG. It was organized with three troops, each with two StuG, plus one for the StuG Batterie Commander. I hope this helps!

The battery commander was SS-Hstuf. Günster,

The battery Stugs were nicknamed: Seydlitz, Schill, Prinz Eugen, York, Lützow, Ziethen, Blücher and Derfflinger.
