Thanks for that Cezar, shame I can't understand a word of German...! Do you know if there's an English version of the site you linked?

Thanks again for the info.

You're very welcome! Unfortunately, such detailed English website does not exist. Some info (mostly at Divisions' level) you can find here: http://www.feldgrau.com/
