Hi guys can anyone help me please I am after information on the organization of 4./LL-Sturm-Regiment at Crete 1941. I believe the company landed in 10 gliders with 96 men. Unsure if this is correct.
The information I have found so far suggests at full strength the company had 6 x sMG 34 and 6 x sGrW 8,0 cm ?
I believe that the company had 3 platoons each consisting of :
Platoon HQ - OC, and 3 man
sMG-Trupp - 2 x sMG 34 with 6 man crew each and 2 man troop command (14)
sGrW-Trupp - 2 x sGrW 8.0 cm with 7 man crew and 2 man troop command (16)
Panzerbüchsen Trupp - 1 Panzerbüchse (2man Crew)

Total 36

Company HQ (14) and 3 x 36 men Platoon = 122

Any thoughts, advice or other information greatfully received
cheers all
steve
