Glad you liked my website, Marc! A ton of research and cross-checking went into the info about the size, configuration, and equipment of a WWII independent tank battalion. Original source documents were analyzed to come up with what you see on the website. The info is about as accurate and reliable as any you'll find on the web. You really can't trust those wargamer sites very much. For anyone interested, a quick link to the organizational section is: <br /> <br />http://www.752ndtank.com/TOE.html <br /> <br />BTW, divisionalized battalions were slightly different from independent tank battalions, but not by all that much. For anyone who doesn't know, a tank battalion is much smaller than an armored division. <br /> <br />I've got a couple of photos of the 752nd Tank Battalion moving cross-country on a transport train on their way to embarkation. Looked like very comfortable troop facilities, and the tanks were loaded on flatcars behind the troop cars. <br /> <br />The trains in war-torn Italy were a VERY different story! <br /> <br />If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to respond via e-mail. <br /> <br />Bob Holt <br />http://www.752ndtank.com <br /> <br />
