I've never been a fan of German military symbols. Nato symbols make so much more sense to me. Does anyone know of a good website that outlines the order of battle for a German division in plain language? niehorster.orbat.com uses the German symbols and they are too confusing...

Thank you. I do know about the orbat site. The German symbols are just confusing to me because they don't really show how many men were in each section as far as I can tell. For instance a mortar team, how many men were in the team and what individual weapons did they carry. It doesn't seem to say. OTH with American units, using the nato symbols, it usually gives a break down of exactly how many men are in each team (even in the HQ) and what individual weapons they carried. No such breakdown seems to be available for the Germans.

I did manage to find the site below. My next question is what does PSK mean? I'm guessing it is a Panzershrek??

That seems like rather a lot of panzerschreck, though. I would look at the official German KStN (TO&E). There are a fair number on-line (or summarized on-line) here:
