5 Panzer Reg tank strength 30 June 1941

[dankane]

Could someone help me with a figure in the Afrika Korps war diary for 30 June 1941 as I may have made a transcription error from the original? On that date I recorded Panzer Regiment 5 as having the following tanks serviceable - 23 PzI, 15 PzII, 34 PzIII, 12 PzIV and 5 captured Matilda Mk.II. I would be really grateful if someone could confirm the correctness (or otherwise) of these figures.

Regards

Daniel Kane.

II: 6

Infantry Tank MkII Matilda 12 captured, but don't know how many went to 5/8 Panzer Reg's.

Cheers Dave.

Thanks for this. I did eventually manage to confirm the 23 Pz I on a visit to the Imperial War Museum, but I did not have 18 June.
