Hi Luft76,

The 3 FJD Gliederung for 22 May 44 shows all nine heavy companies (4,8,12 FSR 5, 4,8,12 FSR 8 and 4,8,12 FSR 9) with the upwards pointing arrow symbol of a "kanone", the number "2" is under each symbol to show a quantity of 2 guns, but only three of these symbols, have to the left of the symbol something else written, and this would usually be the size of the gun in mm, but the Gliederung copy is too poor to read this properly.

However something that may also be of interest, is that the unreadable gun size is only shown written for the 4th Kompanie of each regiment, the other heavy companies have nothing written alongside the kanone symbol.

It then possible that these different descriptions mean they are different types of kanone ? maybe.

cheers lennard

Hello

Interessant information I didn't noticed on the Gliederung. I suppose you are talking about that one who is in 7. Armee KTB ?
Anyway, I think you are right : there was probably another weapon in each 4. komp.
Good info.

Hi Luft76,

Attached is a copy of the Gliederung, came from the Panzer Voran series of magazines, see what you can make of the symbols and data.

Hi Lennard


Here is the "original doc" of this Gliederung, associated in the KTB 7. Armee. There is an interessant information about weapons : number of Leichtgeschutz is 22 :



This number tends to prove that all the heavy companys had this gun !

Hi Luft76,

Thats good information, so there were 22x LG's in the division, 18x in the heavy companies, I wonder where the other 4x were ? somewhere else in the division, but I cannot see where.
