I describe the proposed reorg here:

It would have applied to all rifle battalions I believe, and came from 15. PD, who seem to have been the intellectuals in Rommel's shop.

Besides the AT guns and heavy AT rifles (28/20 sPzB41), companies would also add 2x HMG (from battalion heavy company) and 3x 81mm mortar (meaning the battalion allocation was doubled), and drop the light mortars. On the whole, both AT and anti-infantry firepower was very substantially enhanced.

All the best
