I am wondering if there has been a book put together that gives a TO&E overview of all the major fighting formations of WWII. I am thinking Corps, Division and Brigades. It would consist of all the major belligerents of WWII and perhaps smaller allies too. I am imagining that each TO&E would be on one or two pages. I know this information is around but it is scattered through many sources. It would be great to have it in one collection. I could study the evolution of the Panzer Division or compare US and British Armoured Divisions side by side. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. |

There are various such guides aimed at Wargamers, the one I tend to refer to the most is Frank Chadwicks "Armies of WW2", despite the odd inaccuracy. I'm not aware of any single volume TO&E guide which isn't a Wargamers guide, although the WW1 Data Book by Ellis covers all combatants for WW1. Corps in WW2 had a fairly flexible structure, divisions were the standard building blocks. |

Check out the Nafziger collection. Not just one book but very thorough. |

Though not a book a good place to start is: link Tons of information and as you click on the formations can bore on down. |

There is a Yahoo TO&E group that has a wealth of information in their files. Group is quite active and very helpful with questions. That is another possibility for you. |

also not quite a book: link the PDF's give a nice graphic. Easier on my eyes. hovering on "Support" will drop down a menulet, click on "Nafzinger orbats". It doesn't seem to be set up yet. Those aren't working links, and copy & paste to the search bar gives 404. |
