Default Re: German ranks

Hi Narwan
"What year are these referring too"
Well it seems to be 1939. So these units maybe appear in the invasion of France. I had assumed that these units had gone on to form 1st and 2nd SS divisions, maybe they were included in these divisions later, I dont know. They seem to be what happened to the 20% of TV that didnt get into the Totenkopf division but at 2 brigades and 2 regiments 20% seems a little low. The two SS cavalry regiments were formed from "independent cavalry units, cycle units, and horse artillery elements".
Best Regards Chuck
