An odd one this...

Came across references to WW2 German decontamination units, for gas and other chemical caualties...

Does anyone have any info on their composition?

Here is a resource that briefly mentions the
"Truppenentgiftungs" or troop decontamination units From HQ down to the veterinary level.

Give me a couple of days. I have a few other things on the plate ahead of this.

The basic unit has three sections and a headquarters. Each section has 4 decontamination vehicles assigned. The headquarters has a Kubelwagen, motorcycle and one light truck.

While exact personnel was not listed, I surmise that about 25 men made up each section (the vehicles had a crew of 6) and the headquarters about 8 men for about 80 men total.

There are several decontamination vehicle bodies. These are mounted on either trucks or halftracks and carry the decontamination chemicals along with pumps and sprayers.
