I have collected a series of “bulletins” from the Generalinspekteur der Panzertruppen, they begin with August of 1943 and end with December of 1944 though there are several issues missing. There seems to be some interesting information in some so I will be posting one issue per month until I get them all posted. The documents are copies of originals and not translated.

• Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen, Issue Nr. 02 – Aug. 1943
• Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen, Issue Nr. 03 – Sep. 1943
• Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen, Issue Nr. 04 – Oct. 1943
• Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen, Issue Nr. 05 – Nov. 1943
• Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen, Issue Nr. 06 – Dec. 1943 (Apr 2010)

* NARA - T78 R623 - H16/295

First is a relatively new book by Doug Nash, Victory was Beyond their Grasp: The 272nd Volksgrenadier Division from the Huertgen Forest to the Heart of the Reich, this is a great book on the topic and a must have. Read review here.

Some companion information to the book, good to review prior to starting the book and then kept handy while reading.

• KStN 149 V for Füsilier Kompanie (German)
• KStN 149 V for Fusilier Company (English) (my translation with a lot of room for error)

Foreign Military Study document on the Volksgrenadier Division and the Volkssturm

• FMS_P065a.pdf (67 MB)
• FMS_P065b.pdf (25 MB)

The link below is to a compilation of documents from OKH regarding tables of organization and other organizational information for the Volksgrenadier division. The documents are unfortunately not translated to English but are not however difficult to follow as they are mostly charts. Also the translated KStN 149 V above can be used as a guide. This document is only partially completed; it currently consists of the infantry components, and will be updated with additional components of the division as time and information permits. I formatted this document to be printed double sided and there are several blank pages as I did not want different documents (KStN) to be on the same page.
