Operation ZIETHEN
Partisan Brigade, 1942
In theory brigade was suppose to have 'at lest four battalions'. Forming of Motorized/Mechanized unit, from captured equipment, was also planed but that didn't happen very often. Machinegun platoons, Light Mortars platoon and Supply section were often added to individual battalions allowing them independent actions. Average brigade had 1000 to 1200 men.
