It looks great!

A question first: GD's Grenadier armoured battalion doesn't have an MG company? Or is it abstracted into the halftracks for the MG platoons?

Comrade P,

I've passed on your suggested changes to Michael (including some umlauts!). A number of these I know are based on German spellings within primary records. For example, I believe squardron is correct - I was going to query Mike and did my own web search and found where he sourced it from. That said, we will go through and see what can be changed.

As far as your initial question regarding GD's armoured grenadiers. It's based various including the OB below (straight from Kstn's) and data we had on the individual Divisions. You'll find that all the gepanzert do not have MG's in the heavy company - this includes both the Wehrmacht & SS.

Of interest the only motorised Panzer Grenadier battalions to have a separate MG company were in GD & LSSAH. The rest of the Panzer Grenadier battalions were bereft of this unit.
