Hi Andy,
I agree completely with you. I did and do consider the current discussion here one of finding out if and which improvements could or should be made, not concrete suggestions (not yet anyway).
My sources are not online and of a secondairy nature so probably not enough to base big changes on. That's why I've been trying to find confirmation with others here.
Hopefully we'll be able to present you a consolidated change list. Let us do the work, you just check if we did it right!
Alpha,
the article I'm primairily using for reference to the bundeswehr organisation in the 80's is:
"The Bundeswehr, Its mission and its organisation"
by Major Hank Meyer and John Burtt
Appeared in 'Counterattack' issue 1
It's very detailed and well written and includes organisation schematics for Panzer brigades, Panzergrenadier brigades, Heimatschutzen brigade type 5 and Heimatschutzen brigade type 6 as under 'army structure 4'.
Unfortunately the articles does not list sources.
I've got some other articles that support this but nothing really 'solid'.
