Württemberg Mountain Batl. OOB?

[Tom W.]

Can anybody give me an order of battle for the Württemberg Mountain Battalion, as well as the date it was established? And can you provide a source?

Here's what someone wrote on another forum, no source attributed:

The battalion was established as follows:

Staff: 3 officers, 6 NCOs and Schützen, 4 horses.

1.-6. Gebirgs-Kompagnie: Each 5 officers, 212 NCOs and Schützen, 21 horses and 7 vehicles.

1.-6. Gebirgs-Machinengewehr-Zug (MG platoons): Each 1 officer and 57 NCOs and Schützen, 18 horses and 7 vehicles.

For an all-up strength of 39 officers, 1620 NCOs and Schützen, 258 horses and 84 vehicles...

Almost immediately after deploying to the Vosges, the six MG platoons were used to form three MG companies which were commanded as follows:

7.(1.M.G.-Komp.) Leutnant d.R. Ortlieb

8.(2.M.G.-Komp.) Leutnant d.R. Schiellein

9.(3.M.G.-Komp.) Leutnant d.R. Havestadt

But Bruce Gudmundsson wrote in Stormtroop Tactics that the battalion was composed of the following:

six companies (three light machine guns);

three machine-gun companies armed with 12 heavy weapons each;

one trench-mortar company armed with four light weapons and six grenade launchers.

Can anybody give me a source for the actual composition of the battalion? Thanks.
