Vanatori Moto

[Montbrun]

I'm looking for the internal structure of the Regiment 3.Vanatori Moto and the
Regiment 4.Vanatori Moto of the Divizia 1.Blindate as of June, 1941.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Montbrun

You will find a detailed listing of the 1st Armored Division's OoB for 1941 in a table on page 9 of the the MODEList no. 3 issue (see http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=5354). It is a common mistake to assume that both regiments were mobilized. In reality only one regiment made up of one battalion from each of the two was deployed:

3/4th Motorized Vânători Regiment
o Command Company: Signals Platoon and Traffic Platoon
o Recon Company: Motorized Infantry Platoon and AT Platoon
o Pioneer Company: 1st and 2nd Pioneer Platoons
o Heavy Weapons Company: 1st and 2nd AT Platoons, 81 mm Mortar Platoon
o 1st Battalion: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Rifle Companies, 4th Machine-Gun Company
o 2nd Battalion: 5th, 6th and 7th Rifle Companies, 8th Machine-Gun Company

It was commanded by the CO of the 3rd Regiment, col. Nistor.

I appreciate the response. How does someone in the US get their hands on a copy?

Thanks,
