So I'm doing some research for my Company of Heroes mod. My first goal is to change squad sizes and loadouts to be historically correct. I have found some information but I figured I'd ask here because y'all know everything. So, my questions are as follows:
1: How large was the average German squad equivalent? Did this vary for the Volksgrenadiers, Grenadiers, Panzergrenadiers, and SS units?
2: What was the typical loadout for the units listed above? Was it rifles, smg for the NCO and an LMG? What about AT weapons teams? How was the Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust integrated?
3: Should Strosstruppen be given their own squad? Should a Panzerschreck be in a typical squad of men or would it have a smaller team dedicated to its use?
4: Pioniers? How are they armed and organized at the squad level?
