Korück 556 - commander rear area 556, General Schmitt.
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41

Thanks Urmel.
What function did it fulfil?
Was Panzer-Armee Afrika an HQ Unit, or just a title?

You need to define 'major'. I would not include any of Nuno's list other than Arko104 under 'major'.
Korück 556 was responsible for administration in the rear area, and in September 1941 General Schmitt took over the frontline command of Bardia which it held until the position surrendered on 2 Jan 1942. Not sure how much of his staff went with him.

Hi.
My definition would be Divisional or larger, so Arko 104 was what I took from Nuno's list.
When was "Panzergruppe" in use, and which units did it oversee.
Thanks.

August 1941 to January 1942 when it became Panzerarmee. It controlled D.A.K. and XXI. C.A at first, and then during CRUSADER also CAM.

Does anyone have a KStN for the StaB of an Panzer-Division 1941/2?

Re: Major HQ (Stab) Units 1941 & 1942
What about for the DAK HQ at times various in 1941 & 1942.
Re: Major HQ (Stab) Units 1941 & 1942
I don't think that was built on normal KStN lines.
