Hi Recently I am looking for some data on army branch of Bundeswehr. I know Bundeswehr some army units such as 1st and 10th Panzer Divisions and 13th Panzergrendier Division. How many divisons they had in 1970s or 1980s and anyone have organziation and equipment breakdown of Bundeswehr 's Panzer and Panzergrenadier Division ?
