Another quote from Niklas Zetterling's Normandy 1944:
Also it seems that the Panzer-Kompanie 316 (Funklenk), which was attached to the Panzer Lehr Division, had three Tiger I's when it went to Normandy.Thus it is most likely that 126 Tiger I's participated in the Normandy Campaign |

The time Z. was written his book he was basing on report from early June 1944 that counted 3 T1 with 316.PzKp(Fkl). Nowadays there are new reports found that state those 3 T1 were sent back to Germany shortly after 316.PzKp(Fkl) was deployed to St.Denis . I suggest at least 1 SdKfz 251/10 to replace at least 1 Zugtrupp as PLD PzGrenBats were highly mechanized, actually the only PzD during the war that had HT for each Trupp. Btw, StuGIIIG was renamed to StuGIII in early 1944 . |

Do you have any reference to these new reports regarding the Tiger I's not participating in Normandy |

I'll keep them in game until these new reports can be verified. |

David,
there were no 5cm mortars in PLD. Maybe it's good idea to add some Pumas? |

I've seen 5cm mortars listed for some German units in Normandy, but since it is a small weapon ... it may not have been listed consistently throughout different record keeping. As you say though, there probably wasn't any in Lehr. |
