• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Hi all,

Servus Bergkameraden,

A standard Gebirgsjäger Division would have the following transport vehicles:

- Mules....about 4500 of them.
- Horses...about 1500 of them.
- Wagons/Carts...about 700.
- also various numbers of camels, reindeer, donkeys, and dogs depending on the region.
- Bicycles
- Motorcycles
- Kl. Kettenkraftrads
- Kubelwagens
- Schwimmwagens
- Kfz. 2 "Elf King" (narrow version of the Stoewer)
- Kfz. 15 Horch
- Steyr 1500
- Horch Type 40
- Krupp Protze
- Opal Blitz
- 8-ton Half-Track
- and a variety of other trucks and cars...from impressed civilian types to captured enemy vechiles.

So about 1300 motor vehicles in all.

I would highly recommend the following books:

"Cars of the Wehrmacht" and "Trucks of the Wehrmacht" both by Reinhard Frank.

Muli vor!
