German Infantry Battalion structure and terminology 6 Overview 7 Evolution of the German Infantry Battalion (chart) 9 The elements of the Battalion 10 Annex A - Signal communication 32 Annex B - Weapons and ammunition 35 Annex C - Notes on the use of Volks Grenadier Battalions 50 Annex D - Notes on Divisional Fusilier units 53 Sources and acknowledgements 55 www.bayonetstrength.uk Gary Kennedy February 2019 3 Introduction This is my attempt at analysing the evolving organization, equipment and weapons of the German Infantry Battalion during the Second World War. It covers the Battalion as would be found in the typical Infantry Division. For the purposes of this examination the Battalion can be considered in time periods of the immediate pre-war and the invasion of Poland, the major campaigns and victories of 1940 to 1942, then the retreats and defeats of 1943 into 1944, and the final reckoning of 1945. Included in this second draft is an Annex on the Fusilier Company or Battalion, introduced into the Infantry Division during 1944 and 1945. As far as possible, the information included here is obtained from contemporary documents, with a list of sources and acknowledgements provided at the end. This is a subject I have been dipping in and out of for a good twenty years now, and when I look at my list of sources and acknowledgements I know I am missing out more than a couple of both who deserve a mention, so drop me an email if you’re reading this and think you’re one of them.
