From Panzer Lage

Post by GaryD »

Hello,

A Panzer Lage (Report of the tank park) has three columns for each type of vehicle:

e for einsatzbereit
i for instandsetzung
Z for in Zufuhrung und in den gemeldeten Zahlen noch nicht enthalten.

I think 'e' means 'in service', 'i' means 'out of service' (needs repair), but what does the 'Z' column mean?

Z on these Panzer Lagen means "im Zufuehrung" or "en-route" from the H.Za

many of these entries are based on orders issued by the OKH or Gen.Insp.d.Pz.Tr. to the receiving Army Group/Armee/Korp or whatever unit.

However, some numbers should be treated with caution, in some cases a number of Panzers were promised but the shipments were later diverted, or in very rare cases lost to the enemy.
