My sources conflict on the organization of the 1941 cavalry regiments.

Some references show no intermediate battalion structure (Ion V. Emilian in Feldgrau issues 1968/5 and 1968/6, and Dr. Niehorster's website - http://niehorster.orbat.com/031_rumania/41...bde_cav_41.html, among others):

Regiment Cavalerie (Horsed)
--HQ – Stat
--Ploton Transmisiuni
--Escadron Stat
----HQ – Stat
----Ploton Pioneri (Mounted) – 3 x Engineer Squad, 4 x FT
----Ploton Transmisiuni
--Escadron Cavalerie – 12 x Cavalry Squad, 13 x LMG
--Escadron Cavalerie – 12 x Cavalry Squad, 13 x LMG

Regiment Cavalerie Motorizate

----HQ – Stat

--Escadron Cavalerie – 12 x Cavalry Squad, 13 x LMG
--Escadron Anticar (mot.) – 9 x 3.7cm ATG

While other sources, including this website, show an intermediate battalion structure, with two squadrons per battalion:

----Escadron Cavalerie – 12 x Cavalry Squad, 24 x LMG, 2 x 6cm Mortar
----Escadron Armament Greu – 8 x HMG, 4 x AAMG, 6 x 3.7cm ATG

Can anyone with "definitive" sources help me with this?

Thanks,

Montbrun
