I am a ww2 wargamer, building and gaming with 1/72 scale armor and infantry, and my favourite Operation is Market Garden.
So I'm doing a build up of all the forces present at the battle.
Currently I'm working on the Second SS Panzer Korps.

What I need is some kind of list on what kind of vehicles,armor, SP Guns, artillery, Flak and such things the 9th and 10th SS had and how many of each.

I have looked around a lot to find any information, but there is very little.
Hope some can help me.

I would get Sons of the Reich: The History of II SS Panzer Corps by Michael Reynolds!
A lot of information about there actions in normandy and Holland, and the writer did a in-depth research of every aspect of the II SS Panzer Corps. There is no shortage of information in this book.

But if you want to know about every german vehicale at Arnhem during Market Garden, I would get Concord 7039 German Armour Units at Arnhem Sept 1944! Its Tha Best..

For the 9.SS you can also have a look at '9.SS.PANZER-DIVISION', Herbert Fürbringer, EDITIONS HEIMDAL, 1993. It's in French and German. The most detailed book about the subject I know (~550pages). Editions Heimdal also published one about the 10.SS by J-L Leleu, 1999.

Sounds great, but I can't understand French and my German is very poorly.
