[TaktikMOD] Planung neuer Truppenverbände

Faktensammlung / Vorbereitung der Implementierung
gerade in Planung! ich denke mal laut.
2 neue Einheitentypen geplant: schwere Infanterie und selbst. Artillerieeinheit.
Schwere Infanterie als Brigade implementiert
Alternative Bezeichnungen: HQ Schwere (Reserve)division oder HQ schwere Infanterie, HQ Sturmdivision oder Sturmdivision, Sturminfanterie und Sturmgrenadiere
Historische Stärke: ~10000 Mann
Eisbrecher: 10 MP
Tech-Voraussetzung:
-Panzerjäger oder StuG
-Arta auf Selbstfahrlafetten (Panzerartillerie)
-Infanterie
Geschwindigkeit: relativ niedrig, etwas über die G. einer regul. Infanteriedivision - am Anfang
DR:

„Wir benötigten einen neuen, massiv mit motorisierten Panzerwehrgeschützen ausgerüsteten Divisionstyp. Diese Einheiten müßten direkt der höheren Führungsebene zum Einsatz gegen russische Durchbrüche zur Verfügung stehen. Während der drei Schlachten hatte das XLVXXX Panzerkorps genug Panzerabwehrgeschütze erbeutet, so daß gemäß meinen Berechnungen genug Material für die Ausstattung von zwei Divisionen zur Verfügung stand, ohne die Rüstungsindustrie zu belasten. Mit geringem Aufwand hätten die Rohre der eroberten russischen Panzerabwehrgeschütze auf den deutschen Munitionstyp umgerüstet werden können. Das wertvolle erbeutete Material wurde jedoch sinnlos verschwendet.
Eine solche Einheit wurde später aufgestellt, ich weiß nicht ob mein Brief darauf einen Einfluß hatte. Diese wurde Sturmdivision genannt, aber sie wurde nicht als Eingreifreserve auf höherer Kommandoebene verwendet. Stattdessen wurde sie an einem festen Frontabschnitts eingesetzt und war infolge dessen ein Fehlschlag.“ „ Order in Chaos“, General der Panzertruppen Hermann Balck
Es handelt sich oben um die 78. Sturm-Division (auch 78. Sturm-Division, 78. Grenadier-Division, 78. Volksgrenadier-Division, 78. Volks-Sturm-Division):
Die 78. Sturm-Division bekam zusätzlich zur bestehenden Divisionstruppen eine Stumgeschütz-Abteilung, VW-Aufklärungskompanie, Raupenschlepper als Ersatz für bisher verwendete Pferdegespanne, ein schweres Granatwerfer-Bataillion, eine Flak-Abteilung, und 7,5 cm Panzerabwehrkanonen auf Selbstfahrlafetten (=Panzerjäger). Sie wurde nach dem Einsatz bei der Operation Zitadelle als normale Frontdivision eingesetzt , nicht jedoch als „schnelle Eingreiftruppe“ wie von Balck gefordert. Das war wohl ein Fehler.
Der Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) war ein Kettenfahrzeug für die deutsche Wehrmacht, das speziell für die schwierigen Boden- und Witterungsverhältnisse des Krieges gegen die Sowjetunion entwickelt wurde.
Seine Notwendigkeit wurde erstmals durch die immensen Nachschubprobleme der Wehrmacht im Winter 1941/42 deutlich. In aller Eile wurde bei der Steyr Daimler Puch AG (deren Generaldirektor Meindl auch Chef des dafür eingerichteten Sonderausschusses im Reichsministerium für Bewaffnung und Munition war) ein Vollkettenfahrzeug nach dem Beispiel des russischen Stalinez-65 entworfen

2) Vom Deutschen Reich wurden spezielle Artillerieverbände - historisch in Form von 13 (Volks-)Artilleriekorps (mot.) in Brigadenstärke (3000 Mann) - aufgestellt, einigen von denen später teilweise auch die Festungsartillerie (z.B. Do-ra 5000 Mann) unterstellt wurde.
3) 1943 wurde 18. Artillerie-Division aufgestellt und war beim Unternehmen Walküre vom militärischen Widerstand rund um Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg gegen Hitler zur Besetzung des Führerhauptquartiers Wolfsschanze vorgesehen:
This first purely artillery division which was intended to be an independent [it had 7 supply trains] and movable powerful force was to be created with "Aufstellungsbefehls" from 7 September 1943 by OKH GenStdH/Org.Abt. in executing a Weisung by Hitler himself. This was based upon the estimated necessity for its use as a strongpoint weapon both in attack and in defense. An ideal structure which was planned first wasn’t realized.
An infantry assault gun company and an armoured observation detachment [four medium tanks in fact] were assigned. The object of this addition was to make it possible for forward observers to move about the battlefield in tanks.
Another very special element of this division was, that in addition to all normal artillery units the organization had its own infantry rifle battalion. This unit had the mission of infantry defense in all dangerous situations. In the course of the ensuing battles this battalion saved the division from total destruction no less than three times and from partial destruction numerous times. It was thoroughly trained in rear guard action so that it could plug any breakthrough for a short time

A Volksartilleriekorps (People's Artillery Corps) was a brigade-sized massed artillery formation employed by the German Army in World War II from late 1944 until the end of the war. A Volksartilleriekorps (VAK) was typically composed of five or six battalions of differing kinds of howitzers and guns, including antitank and anti-aircraft guns. Where deployed, VAKs were normally allocated on the basis of one to two per field army. As an organizational development of massed artillery, VAKs were relative latecomers in World War II and neither numerous enough nor strong enough to counter the massive artillery support of the Red Army or the powerful and expertly controlled corps and army artillery units of the Western Allies.
The first mass employment of VAKs was during the Battle of the Bulge in which several VAKs were used to initially impressive effect during German breakthrough operations. The VAKs, many of whose units used horse-drawn transport, however proved unable to effectively keep pace with the motorized and armored units in the vanguard of the German offensive.

During World War II the Red Army of the Soviet Union deployed five Shock armies (Russian: ударные армии - singular: Russian: ударная армия) between 1941 and 1945. Many of the units which spearheaded the Soviet offensives on the Eastern Front from the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) to the Battle of Berlin (1945) were Shock armies. Shock armies had high proportions of infantry, engineers and field artillery, but with less emphasis on operational mobility and sustainability. Soviet Shock armies were characterized by a higher allocation of army-level artillery units to break German defense positions by weight of fire, and often had heavy tank regiments or heavy self-propelled gun regiments to add additional direct fire-support. Once a Shock army had made a breach in an enemy tactical position, more mobile units such as tank and mechanized corps would insert themselves through the Shock army's positions with the mission of penetrating deep into the enemy rear area. By the end of the war, though, Soviet Guards Armies typically enjoyed superior artillery support to that of the shock armies.
Shock Armies were instrumental in the execution of deep operation (also known as Soviet Deep Battle - Russian: Глубокая операция, glubokaya operatsiya). The central composition of the deep operation was the shock army, each acting either in cooperation with each other or independently as part of a strategic front operation. Several shock armies would be subordinated to a strategic front.
Well-known Shock Armies include the 2nd Shock Army, which spearheaded several offensives in the Leningrad area, and the 3rd Shock Army, which played a key role in the Battle of Berlin.
A Soviet ad hoc combat group was a mixed-arms unit of about eighty men in assault groups of six to eight men, closely supported by field artillery. These were tactical units which were able to apply the tactics of house-to-house fighting that the Soviets had been forced to develop and refine at each Festungsstadt (fortress city) they had encountered from Stalingrad to Berlin.[5]

During World War II the Red Army of the Soviet Union deployed five Shock armies (Russian: ударные армии - singular: Russian: ударная армия) between 1941 and 1945. Many of the units which spearheaded the Soviet offensives on the Eastern Front from the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) to the Battle of Berlin (1945) were Shock armies. Shock armies had high proportions of infantry, engineers and field artillery, but with less emphasis on operational mobility and sustainability. Soviet Shock armies were characterized by a higher allocation of army-level artillery units to break German defense positions by weight of fire, and often had heavy tank regiments or heavy self-propelled gun regiments to add additional direct fire-support. Once a Shock army had made a breach in an enemy tactical position, more mobile units such as tank and mechanized corps would insert themselves through the Shock army's positions with the mission of penetrating deep into the enemy rear area. By the end of the war, though, Soviet Guards Armies typically enjoyed superior artillery support to that of the shock armies.
Shock Armies were instrumental in the execution of deep operation (also known as Soviet Deep Battle - Russian: Глубокая операция, glubokaya operatsiya). The central composition of the deep operation was the shock army, each acting either in cooperation with each other or independently as part of a strategic front operation. Several shock armies would be subordinated to a strategic front.
Well-known Shock Armies include the 2nd Shock Army, which spearheaded several offensives in the Leningrad area, and the 3rd Shock Army, which played a key role in the Battle of Berlin.
A Soviet ad hoc combat group was a mixed-arms unit of about eighty men in assault groups of six to eight men, closely supported by field artillery. These were tactical units which were able to apply the tactics of house-to-house fighting that the Soviets had been forced to develop and refine at each Festungsstadt (fortress city) they had encountered from Stalingrad to Berlin.[5]
