THE GERMAN ARMY
GERMAN WORLD WAR II ORGANIZATIONAL SERIES
by Leo Niehorster
This series of publications are considered
to be the best and most authoritative studies on the ground
force organization of the German Armed Forces of World War
II.
Each volume is full of information packed pages, including
Complete Organizational Diagrams - Detailed Unit Organizations
- Contemporary Organizational Symbols - Complete Orders
of Battle - Authorized Tables of Organization - Extensive
Sources and References as well as General Introduction -
How to Read the Charts - Germans Units and Symbols - Organizational
Symbols - Abbreviations.
The series consists of a modular system of books, dealing
in detail with the German Armed Forces ground combat units
in World War II. It is designed so that the interested reader
can select those volumes of interest to him. The data presented
in the books is based on the official German tables of organization
(Kriegs-stärkenachweisung), orders of battle (Kriegsgliederung),
and Army Publications (Heeresdienstvorschrift). Material
in archives in various countries has been extensively researched.
The first part of each volume consists of an introduction,
an explanation of the diagrams and the accompanying text
to be presented, a discussion of tables of organization,
a discussion of German organizational symbols, several pages
depicting and explaining organizational symbols, an order
of battle for the corresponding date, as well as a table
explaining or translating the abbreviations used.
The main part of each mechanized Army divisions book starts
out with divisional diagrams, (one division per page), followed
by a series of diagrams for each type of sub-unit (brigade,
regiment, or battalion), with accompanying text explaining
the interior structure and the composition of these units,
(detachments, sections, platoons, etc.), including vehicles,
main equipment and weapons. Where available, AFV strengths
have been listed. In some cases, even the exact AFV composition
(number and types of tanks) of individual tank companies
has been found for certain dates. In volume 1/I authorized
strengths in accordance with the mobilization order of 1939
have been included for each division. Other volumes also
detail the AFV strengths in detail.
The mechanized Waffen-SS formations are detailed in the
same manner as the Army mechanized divisions.
The main part of each mechanized GHQ units book starts out
with GHQ unit diagrams with accompanying text explaining
the interior structure and the composition of the units,
including vehicles, main equipment, and arms. Orders of
battle and assignments of GHQ units have been detailed.
Particular equipment and its use is explained. Specifications
of the antitank and artillery weapons are included on each
relevant page. Where available, AFV strengths have been
listed.
The main part of each Army and Waffen-SS formation book
covers the non-motorized brigades and divisions. Contrary
to the mechanized formations, the infantry, light, and 'Jäger'
formations are not depicted individually but by 'Welle'
type. i.e., each 'Welle' has one typical divisional diagram.
Deviations from the norm are detailed in tables. Mountain,
ski, and cavalry formations are dealt with in a similar
manner. The subunits are depicted in a series of diagrams
using official German organizational figure symbols. (pictograms).
The Higher Headquarters book covers the Army Group, Armies,
and the various Corps. Subunits are covered in the normal
way. In all cases, the diagrams are accompanied by text
explaining the interior structure and the composition of
the units depicted, including vehicles, main equipment,
and arms. The last part of all books have a discussion as
well as a listing of vehicles and trailers used by the German
Armed Forces and Waffen-SS, a bilingual listing of special
motor vehicles (Sd.Kfz.) -- which encompasses almost all
the armored fighting vehicles -- including the main weapon
and authorized ammunition storage. Those books dealing with
non-motorized units include a list of horse-drawn equipment
(Hf., If., etc.), personnel job descriptions, and so on.
Each book is rounded off with of a comprehensive listing
of sources and references. The published material contained
in this section indicates publications which were consulted,
(although not necessarily used), and is basically meant
to assist the reader in familiarizing himself with the subject
of the German units of the period.
The book dealing with the ground combat forces of the Luftwaffe
will span the entire period between 1939 to 1945, as there
were relatively few types (as opposed to numbers) of them.
Also, the unit organization changed less frequently than
those of the Army.
The author is also contemplating publishing a volume on
the 1944 Brigades (for example, 101. - 113. Panzer-Brigade,
Führer Grenadier Brigade, Führer Begleit Brigade).
Owing to the limited number of brigades raised, it will
be possible to include exact information about the source
and fate of the brigades, as well as one page descriptions
of the actions they were engaged in.
The volumes of the Organization Handbook are something the
author has given considerable thought to, but is still unsure
what it will encompass. Planned are: discussions of how
organizations were arrived at; discussions of the different
combat arms and how they were organized; the Reserve Army
(Ersatzheer) and the Military Districts (Wehrkreise); descriptions
and use of various weapons and equipment (these will NOT
be weapons books) as pertaining to internal organization
and housekeeping in much more detail than space in the individual
volumes allow; the author is also contemplating volumes
explaining organizational symbols for the war years; detailing
the tables of organization (KStN); and possibly one about
German military terms and abbreviations.

also a volume dealing the higher headquarters and mechanized
GHQ units encountered at Kursk and Sicily (July 1943) by
the Allies. Waffen SS units for June 19141 and July 1943
together with army non-Divisional units of those periods.
