The following diagrams provide basic information regarding the vehicle and manpower make up of the 2.SS-Pz.Div. "Das Reich" during the Allied Invasion of Normandy in June 1944. This breakdown does not represent all of the units that comprised "Das Reich" or their complete TO&E, rather it provides a basic understanding of what units fielded a particular piece of equipment, and what the manpower availability was for the Pz.Gren. Regiments, Pionere Bt. and the Aufk.Abt. The camouflage represented on the icons does not necessarily represent the exact schemes used by "Das Reich" during the Normandy battles. |
