1) I should not use the THEORETICAL strenght of a rifle division end 1941,for the battle of KursknebelwerferXXX wrote:Soviet Rifle divisions:

2) Russian frontstrenght in june 1943:5.5 million
riffle divisions :494
rifle brigades:234
fortified zones :27
mobile divisions :35
tank brigades:31
artillery divisions :41
artillery brigades :97
a rifle division of 10000 men would be very exceptional
3) the theoretical strength of a self-prppelled artillery regiment was between 440 and 476 men
an anti-tank regiment :546
a motorized batallion:662
a tank brigade:1306
a reconnaissance batallion:220 men
4) a informal rule could be:comparing a Soviet unit with a lower Western
division =brigade
regiment=batallion
batallion =company

Re: kursk
But for Soviet figures up to 23 July. And almost all figures in the table concern the period till 20 July, except 20 tanks and StuGs lost later.ljadw wrote: I don't dispute it,my figures are for 05 to 16 july only
