You would think that there would be loads of info on that, but there is not really much on GE WW2 tank bn organisation. Plenty on the toys, of course.

- for whatever value you make of web sources.

For the Germans - it was really a case of whatever was available to hand. TO&E charts were simply administrative theory, and if you want the specifics of a particular formation at a certain date then you really have to research their war diaries, returns of strength forms etc.
