Bab 403: Chapter 14: Encountering the Enemy

Yeisk, under Prussian Army control.

Beyond Colonel Busse's combat group, another tank battalion and accompanying infantry arrived here yesterday evening.

The Prussian tank battalion differs from Ante's tank battalion; Ante's tank battalion and the tank regiment are of the same organization, differing in name only, with a total of 21 tanks.

Whereas a Prussian tank battalion, typically called an armored battalion, now consists of three Panther companies and one Tiger company, fielding 80 Panzers and 28 Tigers.

A standard Prussian Armored Division usually has two such armored battalions as well as an Armored Grenadier Battalion, along with a multitude of support troops.

So, essentially half of a division's armored forces has arrived in Yeisk, along with Busse's combat group's original armored units, two hundred tanks now completely occupy every available open space in Yeisk.
