Secondary Armament

None of the sources show that the Panzerjäger I ever used a MG34, and certainly not one chambered in 7.62 mm, since the MG34 was chambered in 7.92 mm. Is anyone able to shed a light on this matter? Did the Panzerjäger I use a MG, and if so, where is the source? --Jagtai 07:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers produced

I can see where the figure of 202 units produced comes from, but is it entirely correct? My maths may be a bit suspect, but according to Jentz & Doyle, Panzer Tracts 7-1, p. 7-46, there were 40 made by Alkett in March 1940, 60 in April 1940 and 30 in May 1940 = 130 total for the French campaign as they became ready. Nevertheless on p. 7-46, col. 2, J&D say the Waffenamt reported in May 1940 there was 1 in reserve out of a total of 132.

The 'Design and production' section reads: "Ten of the second series of 70 were assembled by Alkett while the remainder were assembled by Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz in 1940 and 1941."

For Operation Barbarossa, a further 70 were *originally* contracted to Alkett in September 1940. This contract was modified in October 1940, with only 10 going to Alkett, the remaining 60 to Klockner-Humbolt-Deutz. But J&D report that only 30 were accepted by the Waffenamt in December 1940 and 30 in February 1941 = 60 total (Pz. Tr. 7-1, pp. 7-56, 7-57) making 192 in all. Does this include the two delivered to Africa in 1942, (p. 7-60) vaguely possibly? the two uncompleted units mentioned on p. 7-46, made in Sep. 1940 and July 1941? So I make it 192 (or possibly 194) which J&D report as produced and accepted. Have I missed something? Courtesy ping Denniss who may have a copy of J&D.

On page 56 you missed the 10 accepted in 11/1940. --Denniss (talk) 23:22, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Damn, so I did, thanks for spotting it. :) MinorProphet (talk) 00:22, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
