Kursk - Unit Tables of Organisation & Equipment


This page is the start point for the details of unit organisations

The data that follows on from this page is the "correct" TO&E for each unit type, as far as my research tells me. The German units come from the relevant KstN data, the Soviet from the relevant Shtati. However, most units (German in particular) were nowhere near their required establishment, so look at the pages on the individual units for the actual variations.

The units are lined up in the table below very roughly with their counterparts from the enemy side, where it is even approaching appropriate...

Please go through the detail below, and e-mail me with any comments - especially if you don't agree with the data !

As an aid, click on one of the following links to see a comparison of the "theoretical" strengths of the various types of units:
