Panzerwerkstattzug
Tank Maintenance Platoon

Table of Organisation & Equipment

The German Wehrmacht Panzerkompanie had a Panzerwerkstattzug maintenance and repair platoon of 19 men, commanded by a Feldwebel senior NCO. In the course of the Russian campaign, the platoon’s motor pool was increased to six vehicles, including two 1-ton half-tracks. The maintenance platoon kept the company’s vehicles operational and undertook any repairs or vehicle recovery jobs it could handle on its own. If tanks needed to be recovered from the battlefield, the Panzerwerkstattzug would evaluate the situation and call on the regimental maintenance and recovery company to get the job done.
