Hello again guys,
Just another small question:
While reading the book: "Panzers in the Sand. The History of Panzer-Regiment 5 1935-1941" By Bernd Hartmann i came across a nomenclature i'm not familiar yet. The abbreviation is what i can't figure, althoug the book is about the 5th Panzer Regimen issued in Afrika, the position of the numbers, some times letter, i.e (I, II) confuses me, let me show you.
Examples:
I./Pnzer-Regiment 5
II./Panzer-Regiment 5
7./Panzer-Regiment 5
2./Panzer-Regiment 5
etc,
So my question is how can i read those? are from battalions? companies? Please help.
Martín.

The first two are battalions and the second two are companies.

Hello,
Just as an additional info if you are dealing with german Units. It is also good if you know the correct german Terms... which would be ABTEILUNG in regard of tank Units instead of battalion.
