Re: Rommel

5th Light Division landed in February 1941. It was formed from elements of the 3rd Panzer division.

5th Pz Regt was similar in size to the example below and added vehicles of the same type as time went on.

15th Panzer arrived in May 1941. This unit included many vehicle types.
8th Regiment for example;

Pz II - 45, Pz III (50mm) - 71, Pz IV (short 75) - 20, Pz Bef. - 10.

Other equipment would have included 222 a/car 231 a/car.

Later equipment - long barreled Pz III and IV, Italian Semovente and a few Marder III.

The divisions included infantry and their attendant vehicles - trucks, 251 h/tracks and the like.

Added in would be artillery and anti-aircraft units.

Add also the Italian troops under his command and it is a sizeable force.
