RECENT DATA ON TIME AND SPACE FACTORS

OF GERMAN ARMORED UNITS

Recently obtained data on time and space lengths of various German armored units are given below. This information should be helpful in making estimates of enemy logistic capabilities.
These figures allow a 100-meter (109 yard) interval between battalions, companies, and equivalent units. They include first echelon battle transport (Gef. Tross I), supply transport, and repair services, but do not include second echelon battle transport (Gef. Tross II) and baggage transport.
