Hello, Hans, normally, 5/Aufklarung abteilung were not authorized two sdkfz 251/2 and I think it should be two 251/3 Funk SPWHans Weber wrote:Hello

Unit was at full strength in manpower. The three 250/8 per Aufklärungskompanie were for not delivered, which is however not unusual. If the 250/10 still carried a 3,7cm Pak can not be said. They were however most probably delivered as such to the predecessor of Pz. Aufklärungsabteilung 130.
The unit had on the 6th July incurred in losses of 6.5% in manpower.

1./Pz. ALA 130: 4 x 234/2

Now Henk, you really want to know about SS-AA 12?

CheersI noticed that I mixed up 251/2 and 251/3 in the above posts. The 251/2 (Gw) in schwere Kp is a type 44 phenomen. The units mentioned above should read 251/3 (Fu).
5/Aufklarung abteilung 1944 type were authorized six sdkfz 251/2 mortar carriers and six 251/9 gun carrier and 7.5 cm IG and Pak were withdrawn. Based on your data on 2. Pz division, it still on 1943 type organization and normally it has one or two 251/3 Funk, so I suggest that both 251/2 were also 251/3 but I don't exclude it in the poccess of change from 1943 to 1944 type, so two 251/2 were issued to 2 Pz division initially but 251/3 Funk is must, so question mark on two 251/2 or two 251/3 ? Someone have doucment to prove it ?Hans Weber wrote:CheersI noticed that I mixed up 251/2 and 251/3 in the above posts. The 251/2 (Gw) in schwere Kp is a type 44 phenomen.
