Based upon a theoretical strength report from the SS-FHA (which was not identical to the theoretical strength of the real units in the field) as of 5 September 1944, the 19. and 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Divisionen der SS had the following authorized menpower:
473 Führer
2587 Unterführer
9761 Mannschaften
1854 Hilfswilligen
With those numbers in mind, and the reorganisation order for this type of divisions as of 28.6.1944, I was able to reconstruct this theoretical strength with the following numbers:
F / U / M / Hw // type of unit
37 / 93 / 109 / - // Divisionsstab
66 / 428 / 1847 / 366 // Waffen-Grenadier-Regiment der SS
66 / 428 / 1847 / 366 // Waffen-Grenadier-Regiment der SS
66 / 428 / 1847 / 366 // Waffen-Grenadier-Regiment der SS
16 / 114 / 490 / 91 // SS-Füsilier-Batallion
18 / 126 / 354 / 25 // SS-Panzerjäger-Abteilung
88 / 442 / 1473 / 155 // Waffen-Artillerie-Regiment der SS
19 / 93 / 451 / 61 // SS-Pionier-Batallion
19 / 85 / 304 / 18 // SS-Nachrichten-Abteilung
19 / 98 / 43 / 18 // SS-Feldersatz-Batallion
=====================================
414 / 2335 / 8765 / 1466 // Stärke der Kämpfende Truppe
25 / 113 / 401 / 278 // SS-Nachschubtruppen
11 / 40 / 174 / 26 // SS-Verwaltungstruppen-Abteilung
19 / 80 / 327 / 47 // SS-Sanitätstruppen
4 / 19 / 96 / 37 // SS-Veterinär-Kompanie
======================================
59 / 252 / 996 / 388 // Stärke der Versorgungstruppe
Gesamtstärke
414 / 2335 / 8765 / 1466
59 / 252 / 996 / 388
======================================
473 / 2587 / 9761 / 1854
The theoretical strength of the 15. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS had an additional infantry staff section commanded by a brigadier-general.
The strength of this section was
2 / 1 / 4 / -
Be warned though.
This is the 100% theoretical strength. In this strength, the SS-Panzerjäger-Abteilung had a Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung, all artillery batteries had 4 guns each, 2 90-tonnes Kraftfahr-Kompanien, 2 60-tonnes Fahr-Schwadronen etc.
The SS-FHA strength are to be treated as wishfull thinking, even for a SOLL-strength fan as I am.
