Kursk - Infantry Unit Comparison

The table below shows a count of the major components for the following types of division:

German Grenadier (Infantry) Division, old format - 3 Infantry Battalions per Regiment
German Grenadier (Infantry) Division, later format - 2 Infantry Battalions per Regiment
Soviet Rifle Division
Soviet Guards Rifle Division

Note that the "men" counted are only the combat troops - the rifle squads, engineers and so on; they are counted as "squad-equivalents", not as individual men.

The key points from this comparison:

The German divisions had more Anti-tank guns
They also had more artillery - but the Soviet heavy mortars go some way to countering this
Theoretically, the German old-format division had parity in infantry
In reality - unlikely - the Soviet divisions were up to strength, the Germans weren't
Unsurprisingly, the Guards Rifle Division has the most of everything !
