Armoured Reconnaissance
As anyone who visits this site will already know, my interest in Second World War combat organisations revolves largely around infantry units. In recent years though, I have developed an interest in the various divisional reconnaissance units, so thought I may as well add their details to the site.
Many of the units included an infantry component, which is not doubt what helped draw my attention to them in the first place, as well as fielding a variety of light armoured vehicles. Most of the units discussed served in armoured formations, though several were to be found in infantry divisions. As with the Armoured Units pages, the emphasis is on the personnel allocations rather than the vehicle specifications, though some basic descriptions can be found.
