SS Panzer Division order of battle

An SS Panzer Division was a Waffen-SS formation during World War II. The table below shows the order of battle to which an SS panzer division aspired.
The 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend was organized according to the above table, and served as a template for many other SS Panzer Divisions during World War II. The average complement was approximately 19,000. However, only two out of seven SS panzer divisions contained that strength. In the second half of the war in Europe, in particular close to the end of war, some divisions achieved only the complement of regiment sized units. A Werfer Battailon was only part of the 1st SS Panzer Division LAH and the 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" until they were made independent in the second half of 1944.
