    Hello peoples! How're you? I am good, thank you for asking, and unfortunately, I am back with another question. :(

    Ummmm...a couple of weeks ago, I found this website. It shows you the different kinds of units of the present American military and the number of soldiers in each unit. Pretty nifty, eh?

    Well, I was wondering...does anyone have (or know where to find) the different kinds of units of the WW2 Wehrmacht and the number of soldiers in THEIR units? That would be GREATLY appreciated! I would shower you with love.

    THANKS!!!!
    P.S. - Thanks for the warm welcome, too! :D Y'all are awesome.

    Try http://feldgrau.com

    They have a LOT of good information about the Wehrmacht, and it's free of neo-Nazis.

    One thing to remember about German units, even more so than other countries, is the strengths varied widely. Units called divisions in the last days would have been no more than battalions early on.

    Thanks!! :) I will definitely keep this in mind. How much did a battalion have early on? About 600-700 men, right? Or something like that...

    Oh!! And does anyone know what the units that did the latrines were called? I think it began with an L or something, but I'm not sure and I lost the website I saw it on... :rolleyes:
