For the scenario designers here are some German stats for those of u who want to make realistic TOEs for German panzer units Panzer Inventory Jul43--Aug43--Dec43--Jan44--Jun44--Sep44 PzV-428--524--912--1084--1898--2110 Pz IV-1472--1374--1689--1668--2304--2135 Pz III-1423--1244--960--920--839--0 (no longer in frontline service as of November 1944--Only 5 Panzer Divisions still had PzIII on the Eastern front in December 1943) For availabilty in most cases divide the inventory number by 2 Halftracks Here is a stunning number-In a 1943 Panzer Divison there were 233 251/1 and 64 250/1 (all variants) in the TOE...however only 47 251/1 and 22 250/1 were APCs. It seems the main reason German Panzergrenadiers used trucks or walked was because only 69 (23%) of the 297 HTs in a PzDiv were designated as APCS...Majority of the HTs in a Pz div were engineering/weapons carriers/radio-communication/support-supply/command.. Specialized Halftracks Production Stats these stats are for the entire war! 250/8-69 250/9-324 251/9-1141 251/10-231 251/16-345 251/17-211 251/21-387 251/22-268 Armored Cars Production Stats PSW-221/222/223-production halted in 1943--306 produced in 1943 and 21 in 1944 PSW-231/232 production halted in 1943--200 produced in 1943 PSW-233 production halted in 1944-last 100 in 1944 these stats are for the entire war! These were designed in 1940 and took the Germans 4 years to get them into production--complicated and over-engineered PSW 234/2-101 PSW 234/1-200 PSW 234/3-88 PSW 234/4-98 Flak Panzers Production Stats FPz38-141 Mobelwagen-240 Wirblewind-106 Ostwind-43 While creating TOES for PzDiv packed with goodies is fun reality was your chances of running into the latest German AFVS in 1944 was practically nil
