ORGANIZATION DATA 89 32. ARMORED (PANZER) DIVISION: REORGANIZATION TREND The German armored division is extremely flexible in composition and variable in equipment. The development of newer and heavier tanks and larger calibers of antitank guns and self-propelled mounts for all types of guns, even while older mat6riel remains in use, increases this variability. The charts in paragraph 33 therefore represent the basic type of the German armored division and its components, with the heaviest armament and equipment likely to be encountered. However, older materiel is still in use, new materiel may be encountered, and details of composition will vary. Consequently, because of the extreme variations that may occur, the actual composition and equipment of a particular armored division must be established by intelligence in the field and supplemented by intelligence previously obtained on that division. The trend is constantly toward greater fire power, heavier armor, and increased motorization. The Germans apparently are equipping as many panzer-grenadier units as possible with armored. troop carriers, but the proportion of units thus equipped will vary with every panzer division. There are indications that the Pz.Kpfw. III and even the Pz.Kpfw. IV may eventually be replaced by the Panther and even the Tiger tanks. If these replacements are made, a tank regiment may consist of two Panther tank battalions, one Tiger tank battalion, and one assault-gun battalion. Pending the re-equipment of the tank regiment, a transitional organization of it may be encountered. This organization may consist of two tank battalions of three or four companies each, or three tank battalions of three companies each. In either case, the organization will also include an assault battalion. The total number of tank companies in the tank regiment may therefore vary from six to nine. Any or all of the guns and howitzers of the antitank battalion and armored artillery regiment may be on self-propelled mounts.
