German Armoured Infantry Btl HQ
Hi all.
Anyone have any info on what composed a German armoured (GEP)Schutzen/PzGren Btl HQ throughout the war? I'm looking to start a long campaign 1939-1945 and would like to have a realistic kampfgruppe HQ element.

Popski
Thanks for the link. a good source that confirms some of the info I've gathered up from various books.
I can grasp some of it, need to get a German dictionary now though to be sure!

Re: German Armoured Infantry Btl HQ
Popski,
Thanks for the offer of translations. Don't worry if you don't have time for all these though, I don't want to be taking up to much of your time.
All from KStN 1108(gp)(1.11.1941)
Batch 1: From their kit these seem to refer to the signals units of Btl HQ
a. Nachrichtenstaffel
b. Kleiner Fernsprechtrupp
c. Tornisterfunktrupp
d. Kleiner panzerfunktrupp
Barch 2: Various support & admin attachments
e. Gefechstrab
f. Nachshubstaffel
g. Verpflegungstrab
h. Gepacktrob
Thanks for your time fella

Re: German Armoured Infantry Btl HQ
Ok, I can't deliver the exact translations, but I'll do my best. If anyone can tell the exact english expression I would like to learn...
a. Nachrichtenstaffel: communication squadron
b. Kleiner Fernsprechtrupp: small troop for communication by phone (Fernsprech)
c. Tornisterfunktrupp: troop for communication via radio (Funk) carried in a/as a backpack (Tornister)
d. Kleiner Panzerfunktrupp: small troop with armored vehicle equipped with radio
(better: troop with small (4x4) armored vehicle equipped with radio as opposed to a troop equipped with an medium (mittlerer Panzerfunktrupp) (8x8) armored vehicle)
e. Gefechtsstab: staff for combat
Gefechtstross: combat support train
f. Nachschubstaffel: supply squadron
g. Verpflegungsstab: staff for provisions (food)
Verpflegungstross: food train
h. Gepäcktross: baggage train
I hope this is understandable.
