German Pz Inventory & HT stats

[osiris_slith]

For the scenario designers here are some German stats for those of u who want to make realistic TOEs for German panzer units

Panzer Inventory

Jul43--Aug43--Dec43--Jan44--Jun44--Sep44

PzV-428--524--912--1084--1898--2110

Pz IV-1472--1374--1689--1668--2304--2135

Pz III-1423--1244--960--920--839--0 (no longer in frontline service as of November 1944--Only 5 Panzer Divisions still had PzIII on the Eastern front in December 1943)

For availabilty in most cases divide the inventory number by 2

Halftracks
Here is a stunning number-In a 1943 Panzer Divison there were 233 251/1 and 64 250/1 (all variants) in the TOE...however only 47 251/1 and 22 250/1 were APCs. It seems the main reason German Panzergrenadiers used trucks or walked was because only 69 (23%) of the 297 HTs in a PzDiv were designated as APCS...Majority of the HTs in a Pz div were engineering/weapons carriers/radio-communication/support-supply/command..

Specialized Halftracks Production Stats

these stats are for the entire war!
250/8-69
250/9-324
251/9-1141
251/10-231
251/16-345
251/17-211
251/21-387
251/22-268

Armored Cars Production Stats

PSW-221/222/223-production halted in 1943--306 produced in 1943 and 21 in 1944
PSW-231/232 production halted in 1943--200 produced in 1943
PSW-233 production halted in 1944-last 100 in 1944

these stats are for the entire war!
These were designed in 1940 and took the Germans 4 years to get them into production--complicated and over-engineered
PSW 234/2-101
PSW 234/1-200
PSW 234/3-88
PSW 234/4-98

Flak Panzers Production Stats

FPz38-141
Mobelwagen-240
Wirblewind-106
Ostwind-43

While creating TOES for PzDiv packed with goodies is fun reality was your chances of running into the latest German AFVS in 1944 was practically nil

Interesting stats Osiris! Can you point to articles where you obtained this information? I am sure there would be lots of other interesting information as well.
