Friedrich will become famous soon enough
I am working on a project about the German Order of Battle for the invasion. I have some different versions of internet sites and I'm sure you can help me in clarifying these data. Please, help is appreciated.

Army Group 'North'

24 infantry divisions, 3 armoured divisions, 2 motorised divisions.

Army Group 'Centre'

22 infantry divisions, 9 armoured divisions, 6 motorised divisions, 1 cavalry division.

Army Group 'South'

34 infantry divisions, 5 armoured divisions, 3 motorised divisions.

Are these cyphers correct?

Now, I have very different figures about the deployment of those divisions on June 22nd 1941. The version I rely most on is as follows:

Army Group 'North' (Von Leeb)

XVIII Army (Von Küchler)
Infantry divisions: 1st, 58th, 61st, 93rd, 217th, 291st.

XVI Army (Busch)
Armoured divisions: 12th
Motorised divisions: 3rd, 18th, 20th, SS 'Totenkopf'
Infantry divisions: 11th, 12th, 21st, 30th, 32nd, 96th, 121st, 122nd, 123rd, 126th, 290th

IV Armoured Group (Hoeppner)
Armoured divisions: 1st, 6th, 8th
Motorised divisions: 36th
Infantry divisions: 269th, SS 'Polizei' (Is it an infantry division?)



I'll continue later. And I'll really appreciate any help. I need also the Army Corps and which divisions were in each one...

Thank you.
