  • East German TO&Es 1980-1989 V1.3
    East German TO&Es 1980-1989 v1.3 BATTLEGROUP CWEG-01 (a) The East German Army (NVA) had x2 Panzer Divisions (7th & Panzer Division 1980s (a) 9th) and x4 Panzer-Grenadier Divisions (1st, 4th, 8th & 11th). These were grouped into two higher administrative formations – the BATTLEGROUPS 3rd and 5th Military Districts. Each Military District had x1 Panzer Division and x2 Panzer-Grenadier Divisions, plus Army Support BG CWEG-03 Assets. Some sources record these formations as ‘Armies’, but in x3 Panzer Regiment reality the Military Districts were administrative formations only. In war the six East German divisions would have come under the BG CWEG-04 command of five of the six Soviet Armies in Germany (28th, 2nd Guards, 8th Guards, 20th Guards & 3rd Shock Armies, but not 1st x1 Panzer-Grenadier Regiment (Tracked) Guards Army), while the East German Army support assets would form the Army Troops of 2nd Guards Army and 8th Guards Army. BG CWEG-08 Consequently, East German divisions could have Soviet Army x1 Panzer-Reconnaissance Battalion Troops in support and vice versa. The East Germans were widely regarded as the most reliable of all Warpac armies (the expression ‘There’s none so fanatical as a convert’ springs to mind) and in x1 Pioneer Battalion (b) some cases were regarded as more combat-efficient than many Soviet units in Germany. FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENTS (b) The Divisional Pioneer Battalion had a single Pioneer Company that could be considered an ME for game purposes (ME CWEG- FSE CWEG-05 14), while the rest of the battalion consisted of road-building, Divisional Artillery Regiment bridging, amphibian, position preparation and demolition equipment, which is unlikely to feature very heavily in a game.

  • From the Desert Sands to the Burmese Jungle: the Indian Army and the Lessons of North Africa, September 1939–November 1942
    CHAPTER SEVEN FROM THE DESERT SANDS TO THE BURMESE JUNGLE: THE INDIAN ARMY AND THE LESSONS OF NORTH AFRICA, SEPTEMBER 1939–NOVEMBER 1942 Tim Moreman Introduction The Indian Army contingent that fought in North Africa against German and Italian troops between 1939–42 formed a comparatively small part of the polyglot British Commonwealth armies, drawn from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and smaller Allied countries. The degree to which different Indian Army formations took part in the Western Desert varied enormously. The 4th Indian Division was arguably the most experienced of all British formations in the theatre, seeing nearly two and half years of combat, with only a few brief intermissions to rest, retrain and reorganize, by November 1942. The 5th Indian Division also made a significant albeit smaller contribution to the desert war, after being blooded in Eritrea, before eventually returning to India in 1943. A relatively smaller part was played by 10th Indian Division from May–June 1942, when it was caught up in the tail end of the Gazala battles, savaged while escap- ing from Mersa Matruh and then participated in the defence of El Alamein. A single brigade of 8th Indian Division—the inexperienced 18th Indian Infantry Brigade—was rushed forward in July 1942, more- over, to El Alamein and was destroyed by German panzers at Deir El Shein on 1st July 1942.1 The unfortunate independent 3rd Indian Motor Brigade was also deployed in the Western Desert where on two separate occasions it was overwhelmed by Axis troops. A large num- ber of British officers from the Indian service also held senior com- mand and staff appointments in Middle East Command, particularly 1 For an early account of the Indian Army in North Africa see The Tiger Strikes and the Tiger Kills: The Story of the Indian Divisions in the North African Campaigns (London: 1944).
