Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - Hoyt Burrass - 02-26-2009 Does anyone have any TO&E info for a late 1942 Wehrmacht Construction Bn...I expect these would be the RAD Bns. Answer here or the email address in my profile is valid. Thanks in advance. RE: Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - Hoyt Burrass - 02-26-2009 Portrayed as Bau Btl In PzC Glenn...any help? RE: Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - Glenn Saunders - 02-26-2009 Sorry Krausn: I looked at a few sources I have here - couple Nazinger Books and such - but I don't see any TO&E for this sort of independant Bau Btls. Glenn RE: Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - Hoyt Burrass - 02-26-2009 Thanks for your effort.

I appreciate the help. RE: Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - rzhev42 - 02-27-2009 If they were issued any MGs they would have been listed in the KStNs so the answer is no MGs. By the way, I had the company/platoon numbers wrong. Each platoon had (1 - 0- 8 - 115) so each company had 345 EM. I know that when we included these units in both Rzhev and (I think) Stalingrad we decided that they would be small as to the number of men because of lack of weapons. Michael Avanzini RE: Wehrmacht Construction Battalions 1942 - Hoyt Burrass - 02-27-2009 Excellent, you confirmed what I had suspected but had no references to back up. I can't say why I needed the information, and no, it's not for PzC or any other HPS project, but you will be appropriately acknowledged if the project comes to fruition. Thanks again
