Here's a breakdown of tank strength of the German Panzer Divisions:
1940- 4 battalions of 100 tanks each.
1941-42- diluted to 200 tanks,with 1 battalion of self-propelled guns
Jan, 1943 - average of 27 tanks per division on the Eastern front, after the debacle at Stalingrad
June,1943 by the time of Kursk, the German Panzer divisions averaged 190 tanks each, with the Waffen SS Panzer divisions having abovestandard numberg of Tigers and Panthers, aside from the Werhmact's Grossdeuchland elite division. After Kursk, the German's never regained full complement of division strength in tanks. As an example, II Panzer Corps lost half its tank strength at Kursk.
The standard battalion consisted of 3-4 companies. Initially, one company was designated as a medium company. By the time of Kursk, however, all the companies had the same type of tanks. During the latter stages of the war, most tank regiments had one battalion equipped with Panzer IVs and another with Panthers or even assault guns (Jagpanzers).
The tank company's normal complement or 22 vehicles was later reduced to 17. For Tiger companies it was 14.
