German Non-Mot Pioneers
Posted: Fri May 01, 2026 8:45 am
Finding more KSTNs while working through the mot. Pioneers, here's the non-mot stuff.
Here's a list of (hopefully all) KSTNs which are not "mot", well some are partially or as the (LL) rather mot.
Looking through how a, b, c, d looked in/around summer 1942 we find the following:
So this means at least 11Men, while I already removed 2 Men per Squad for Panzerbüchse 39, while there was only one authorized and with ingame Squads there would only be 2 in total removed and not 6.
Similarly I have removed the Bicycle dudes (for whatever reason).
The 1944 variants for some reason still contain the "Panzerbüchsenschütze", but those weapons were no longer part of the TOEs afaik (have seen several TOE overviews where they were removed with notes that they are no longer available), also not used ingame in those later TOEs. So the number of the later Squads should therefore also be (3+21+9)/3=11Men.
The earlier variants were even larger as can be seen in the notes, containing Squads of about 14Men.
