1 The German army refitted and reorganized its infantry divisions sometime in early 1942. This resulted in a merging of the reconnaissance and panzerjäger battalions into "schnell" (fast) battalions that performed the reconnaissance and anti-tank combined functions. The precise date of that reorganization is not known.
