German KstNs

A whole range of German WW2 Kriegsstärkenachweisungen (KstNs.

I have a whole range of German WW2 Kriegsstärkenachweisungen (KstNs). They are NOT Kreigsgliederung (OOBs) and are not intended to be so but more the evolution of the German Tables of Organization (TOE) sorted by type, date and KstN number. There’s nothing new in the KstNs themselves just how they are displayed as in nearly all previous documents they were always part of an OOB.

I stated doing them many years ago before the advent of the internet in the days of the Apple ][e and are aimed at tactical level games, initially SSIs Kampfgruppe on the Apple and then Steel Panthers. They can however be used to recreate larger units if you know what those units consisted of. For instance you have a Pz Div Kreigsgliederung.

Hope you find them useful but read the General notes.

They are zipped here in in Libre/Open office format as they take up less space than pdfs.

Hi,
good stuff! I did read through some of them and one thing to note: The Volksgrenadiers were never supposed to have 9mm MPs in their Sturmzug. They were always supposed to be MP44s, in fact the Sturmzug was a tactical concept developed especially for that weapon. This false impression was the result of naming confusion (since the Sturmgewehr was named MP43/1, MP44 at first). The second version of thekstn is more of a clarification than a new version of the unit.
