Modeling Polish 10th Motorized Brigade

[TonyE]

I would guess that each squad would be 8 men. Just got a photobook about the 10th Motorised Brigade (prewar and sep`39) campaign and there is a picture showing several personeltransporting trucks (Fiat 621) driving along a road, each with 16 men in the back, so two trucks per platoon possibly. So three platoons each of four squads would amount to 96 of the 120, the rest would be divided between platoon leader, assistants, the biker-dudes, drivers, company staff, the ATR crew etc. In addition to the 120 men would propably come the MG section, not listed in the Warzaw Brigade OB, but they were certainly in the 10th Brigade.

Alternatly one could have 9-men squads by including the AT-rifle in one of the squads and spreading the platoon leader and his assistant(s) among the other three squads.

The formations were formed in early 1937 as an experiment, later getting more formal. Have the exact dates at home though but writing from work.
