Continuing my research on the composition of the divisions of the II SS Panzer Corps at the beginning of Operation Market Garden, I would like to know if these data are correct or acceptable.
10. SS Panzer-Division on 5 September 1944

SdKfz 222=6
SdKfz 250s=17
SdKfz 251s=61
Grille=0
Wespe=0
SdKfz 10/4=3
StuG III=4
Hummel=0
10. SS Panzer-Division on 12 October 1944

SdKfz 251s=63

10th SS Pz.Dv composition during OMG
Re: 10th SS Pz.Dv composition during OMG
Hello, Brady!
Thank you very much for the info.
If I understand correctly this chart, Hohenstaufen counted on 15 KTs from 506 and 10 StuGs from 280 and another 3 StuGs on 24/09/44?
Cheers,
Fabrício

Re: 10th SS Pz.Dv composition during OMG
I am not sure to be honest, I know the 9th and 10th were very depilated on Sept 17th, at something like 20% fighting strength having almost no AFV's, aside from there recon elements.
I have a couple books specifically on them and I pulled that Chart from the back of one of them.
I will need to find the time today to go through the body of the text to get more details on their actual strength on the 17th though.
