The tables below provide the organization of the Eastern Troops in service of the Germany Army on 5 May 1943. Only units known to the General der Osttruppen, the commanding officer responsible for supervising eastern troops, are presented in the tables. The tables are not intended to display the organization of regular German Army formations and units, their titles are only provided to show which formation or unit each Osttruppen unit was attached to. The tables cover all Heeresgruppen and theatres of war. The Schematische Kriegsgliederung does not indicate to which specific divisional commands each unit is assigned to, unless the division in question is a German Army security division. Where an eastern unit has been attached directly to a German Army division, it is usually noted as being "bei...", so an eastern unit attached to the 344. Infanterie-Division would have a note next to it indicating that the unit is "bei 344. Infanterie-Division."
The tables are laid out so that the organization of higher-echelon formations, i.e. corps and armies, and their respective attachments should be clear. The tables go from the top-most organization to the bottom-level organization, so if you are reading the page from top to bottom you will begin at the Army Group level, and proceeding down you will see the various assigned Army and Corps. Use the links within the tables to jump from one formation to another.
Each table has a label at the top, indicating which formation it refers to. This title is repeated in the left-hand column of the table for reference. The right-hand column lists all of the Osttruppen units assigned to that particular formation. Within the right-hand column, each "level" of indentation indicates a level of subordination. No indentation means that the unit in question is directly attached to the main formation. Units indented one level are directly subordinate to the parent unit above it. A parent unit or formation of regiment size or larger with subordinate elements is always displayed in boldface type, and without being indented.
The echelon-level of certain units and command staffs, i.e. REGIMENT, BRIGADE, CORPS, etc., is provided next to the unit's or staff's title in brackets with capital letters: e.g. Armenische Legion (REGIMENT). This is used where the unit's or staff's title designation does itself indicate the exact size.
Research footnotes next to unit titles are presented in BLACK type and in brackets [ ]. These are footnotes that were added by the researcher, and are either additions, corrections, or translations of notes found on the original document.
Original footnotes next to unit titles are presented in BLUE type and in parenthesis ( ). These are notes added directly to the original document, and are not translated or altered from their original form.
Unit assignments are occasionally noted next to a unit in RED type and in brackets [ ]. These indicate the actual higher formation that the unit is assigned to.
The unit titles of all units and formations are presented in their original German form, and appear in BLUE type. If you need translations of their titles, use the Site Glossary. In most cases, the unit titles are in their unabbreviated form. Unit titles are left unabbreviated when the actual title can not be determined.

Notes on the Summary Tables:
Below each Formation Table is a Summary Table that presents an overall picture of the total numbers of Osttruppen units, organized by unit type, ethnicity, and size, that were assigned to that formation on 5 May 1943. The Summary Tables are meant to be used to perform quick examinations of the total units assigned to each formation, and present this information in an easy-to-read format. In-depth examinations should instead be performed using the Formation Tables, as they provide more specific information. The Summary Tables use certain abbreviations and categories to organize the information, as noted below:
Categories:
- Construction Battalions: includes all Bau- and Träger-Bau-.
- Construction Companies: Includes all Bau- and Straßenbau-, and Eisenbahn-Bau-.
- Supply Companies: Includes all Nachschub- and Nachschub-Transport-.
- Cossack Cavalry: Used to differentiate between Cossack cavalry and other cavalry units.
- Cossack: Cossack infantry units are listed under the regular "Infantry" categories, Cossack cavalry units are under their own category, "Cossack Cavalry."
- Infantry categories: If not specified, units (regardless of size) are assumed to be infantry. Also includes Gebirgs-, Jäger-, Feld-, and Sicherungs-Infanterie-.
- Cavalry: Also includes Kavallerie-Sicherungs.
- Unspecified units in 162. Infanterie-Division (turk.) are listed as being "Turkic."
- School category units are company-sized units unless otherwise specified.
