Hello All,
First a bit of background on myself. I served in the British Military in a Military Intelligence role and have fought in a number of conflicts. The two areas of World War Two which really grabs my interest are the fight to defend Sicily and the Italian contribution to the Invasion of the USSR up to and including the Battle on the Don River.
One of the things I would really like to have is a full Order of Battle for the combatants during the Invasion of Sicily (Italians, Germans, American & Commonwealth) with a page for each. There are loads around including the one in the Order of Battle section. But initially I would like to see one showing formations in their pure form so not broken down to the assorted Mobile / Tactical Groups down to Company/Battery level and if possible to include the commanders name as quite a lot of the documents about the fighting quite happily switch between for example 3rB Battalion, 30th Infantry and Group X.
Initially this might simple show a basic structure such as:
207 Coastal Division
Commander:
General de Divisione Tom
100 Coastal Infantry Regiment - Colonel Dick
I Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company - Major Harry
II Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company
III Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company
101 Coastal Infantry Regiment
I Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company
II Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company
III Battalion
1 Company
2 Company
3 Company
1 Artillery Regiment
I Artillery Group
A Battery (100mm) - Lt Fred
B Battery (100mm)
II Artillery Group
A Battery (75mm)
B Battery (75mm)
III Artillery Group
A Battery (75mm)
B Battery (75mm)
I hope this makes sense and would anyone be interested in helping with this / checking the results?
