1 Kp., I./Pz.Rgt. 29 [in total 14, employment  under headquarters Pz.Brig. 103, with the disbandment of the Brigade in March 1945 remainder (at least 6) transferred to 8. Pz.Div.]

1 platoon 2./s.Pz.Abt. 507 (total = 3, received by early March 1945 at the latest) [rem.: When exactly and from where the delivery happened is obscure, it does not appear as such in the allocation files]


B.2. Waffen-SS

6./SS-Pz.Rgt. 2 (2. SS-Pz.Div.) (total = 10)

4./SS-Pz.Rgt. 9 (9. SS-Pz.Div.) (total = 10)

SS-Pz.Jg.Abt. 10 (10. SS-Pz.Div.) (total = 10) allocation to companies unknown

SS-Kampfgruppe 'Wiking' (parts SS-Pz.Rgt. 5) (total = 7) deployment separately from Division at the western front (Greater Hannover).


C. Others, Ersatzheer (Replacement Army), Heeres-Waffenamt

Pz.Stützpunkt Mayen (total = 10) no clear evidence of disposition, but most likely allocated to s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 654.

Ersatzheer (total = 2) [most likely to Pz.Jg.E.u.A.Abt. 20, deployment with 1./Pz.Ausb.(Einsatz-)Abt. 20 with Pz.Ausb.Verband GD in  Northwestern Germany]

H.Waffenamt (Mielau 2, Kummersdorf 1, Hillersleben 1, WaPrüf 1)


Total  419 (exchange between units not included in the calculation)

Furthermore the following should be mentioned: In the last-known order of battle chart of the 3. Pz.Gren.Div. dated 1.3.1945 next to the tactical symbol for headquarters of the Pz.Jg.Abt. 3 there is a note  "1 Jagdpanther 8.8 cm”. However, neither the status report nor the attached divisional weapons listing includes the slightest further reference to this Jagdpanther, and nothing has emerged from other documents thus far. This entry remains enigmatic.
