I am looking for information about the weapons and organization of the following units that were in the 1st Armoured Division in 1941. The "Special Weapons Battalion", the "Mechanised Recon Group", and the Pioner Battalion. I am guessing the the weapons bn is a mix of AT. guns and AA. guns.
Thank you.
