24. Panzer Division...

[Timo]

Hallo everybody,

I am looking for a Stellenbesetzungsliste and if possible an OoB for 24. Panzer Division, December 1942.

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards,
Timo

Hi Timo

It looks like there are little OoBs for the year 1942 available. The only ones I've got are from the units fighting in Africa (El Alamein).
I don't have the OoB for the whole 24. Panzer Division, but I can give you the OoB for the 24. Panzer Regiment (28.06.42) :

24. Panzer Regiment :
- Regimentsstab
- Panzer-Nachrichtenzug (2 x PzBef., 1 x PzKpfw. III)
- leichter Panzerzug (7 x PzKpfw. II)
- 1. Battaillon :
- Stabskompanie :
- Panzer-Nachrichtenzug (2 x PzBef., 1 x PzKpfw. III)
- leichter Panzerzug (7 x PzKpfw. II)
- 1. Kompanie (17 x PzKpfw. III)
- 2. Kompanie (17 x PzKpfw. III)
- 3. Kompanie (10 x PzKpfw. IV)
- 2. Battaillon :
- Stabskompanie :
- Panzer-Nachrichtenzug (2 x PzBef., 1 x PzKpfw. III)
- leichter Panzerzug (7 x PzKpfw. II)
- 4. Kompanie (17 x PzKpfw. III)
- 5. Kompanie (17 x PzKpfw. III)

Forgot to say that each of the 3 Panzer Battaillons had a Armoured Detachement (Staffel) consisting of 1 x PzKpfw. IV, 3 x PzKpfw. III., 2 x PzKpfw. II
