 Basic Organization of Panzer/Panzergrenadier-Brigade
On 2 July, while considering current situation, Hitler stated that the small, mobile, fast and armored Kampfgruppe could be useful during this situation and such Kampfgruppe could quickly be sent into action to meet the attacking enemy armored spearhead.
He thought that the appropriate organization for these Kampfgruppe should be one SPW-Bataillon, one Panzer-Gruppe with thirty to forty panzers, one Pak-Kompanie and several Flak-Wagon.
The idea seemed to be practical in the view of organization by combining the two main striking forces in a balance way plus some supportive units and all of them were highly mobile and armored.
