Hello friends
I'm looking for help to "translate" this schedule of IR83.
I note in red number symbols i'm trying to find exact signification. German terms and translation are welcome.

0= Stab Eines Inf Reg = ?
1= Nachrichten = renseignements ?
2= ?
3= Pioner Kompanie = ?
4= ?
5= ?
6= ?
7= ?
8= Stab Eines Inf Bat = ?

I'm so interested to know how many men are involved in that kind of regiment in may 1940
Many many thanks for your help and reply.

I'll give this a shot.

0: Stab eines Infanterieregiments
1: Nachrichtenzug bei Stäben
2: Musikerzug (regiemntal band)
3: Pionierzug bei Stäben
4: Infanteriereiterzug
5: Infanteriepanzerjägerkompanie (mot Z)
6: Infanteriegeschützkompanie (mit 2 schwere und 6 leichte Geschütze)
7: leichte Infanteriekolonne
8: Stab eines Infanteriebataillons (your marked example is the III. Bataillon)

What is the date of this chart? It would help in trying to calculate the theoretical strength of the Regiment.

I don't know the date but as I wrote in my first message I'm interested by this regiment in may 1940 who is fighting in Yvoir (belgium) area.
