Rommel

I could be wrong I think Rommel Unloaded one tank division and one armoured division from the docks in Tripoli Libya's capitol. Please tell me how many tanks were in his tank div and how many men.
Also the details for an armoured division what kind of weapons please and how many men in this and also how many men consisted the Africa corp.

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.
