Waffen-SS/Wehrmacht Company Organization

Post by LoneShade » 23 Sep 2016, 07:23

Greetings. My name is Ted and I'm a history nut. Recently I've been reading lots of historical fiction and actual history. The most recent I've read is Chris McNab's Hitler's Elite and Jonathan Triggs' Hitler's Vikings. The Devil's Guard books by Eric Meyer (the last being the most recent historical fiction).

Right, I'm curious if there any good threads on Waffen-SS or Wehrmacht company organization (Panzergrenadier company specifically). First off I wonder if companies were commanded by Hauptmann or Hauptsturmfuhrer or by Sturmbannfuhrer or Majors as in the British Army? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Have a look into the KSTN section of my site....

Here an example of a Panzergrenadierkompanie.....

Companies were commanded by a Hauptsturmführer - on the paper at least.
