Lehmann indicated in "The Leibstandarte III pp 148 that “ The Sturmgeschuetzabteilung LAH (minus the 2. Batterie) is to be subordinated to the 2. Panzergrenadier-Regiment LAH". Through out the ongoing descriptions of the battles for Karkov etc he breaks down 2 Panzergrenadier-Regiment into the three fighting groups I, II and Peipers armour reinforced III. I could not find any information though showing just how the 1 and 3 batterie were split up within what Lehmann called the Reinforced 2. Panzergrenadier-Regiment. Is it assumed that both batterie went to Peipers III ?

Are there any sources or references that indicate just how the 1 & 3 Batterie of the Sturmgeschützabteilung of LAH were allocated to the re-enforced 2 Panzergrenadier-Regiment for that period of time ie operations involving Karkov, Bolgorod etc. It even appears that this arrangement was utilised months later for Operation Zitadell etc.

Further, during this particular period of time, what Sturmgeschuez variant would have been utilised by the Sturmgeschützabteilung of LAH ?

Where can I find a list which details the type and numbers of the various vehicles and artillery/mortar pieces which the division had available during the fighting for Kharkov?
