#1: Unit loadouts Author: pagskier, Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 9:26 pm I'm currently looking for Weapon loadout
of platoon/squads of German infantry unit, panzergrenader,Waffen SS, Canadian inf. unit, US inf. Unit and british unit loadout
I know that a cdn squad was made of 10 men
but I don't know what was the usual weapons they were carrying as a platoon.
I know it changed a lot during the summer 1944 and witner of 1945 so if you feel to make a distinction
it would be awsome! I tried to find some
thanks!

What I am looking at
is weapon distribution in compagny
but more toward the squads.
Like number of nades, type of weapon,ammo, support weapon of platoon and there distribution in the multiple squads on the western front
Like I've read that 12ss and fallishmjager units had numerous automatic weapons, but no idea on how this reflect on the squad level.
I know also it changed quite a lot from summer 1944 to winter 1944-45 But don`t know how...
