I have an interest in strength reports and equipment inventories in German formations.
I expect there are many reports of this nature in the NARA archives. My question is, are these collected in a particular set of records, or are they bits that have to be dug out of the records concerning particular divisions etc. ?
Thanks for any pointers.

It's in each organization's files. Total figures at OKH, unit figures at unit records. Getting both is interesting: you can spot what gets distorted as reports move up the chain of command.

There is also the extended series of Gliederungen by month for the Panzertruppen in T-81 IIRC, Rolls 621 and 623?
