How many men in 1. Gebirgs-Division?
Can anyone tell me approximately how many men would have been in the 1. Gebirgs-Division around 1939? Also interested in how many men would of been in the 98th Gebirgsjager Regiment at this time. As well as, approximately how many men would have been in a kompanie of the 98th Gebirgsjager regiment.
Take a look here:

Hi I appreciate the link, but I don't see figures on how many men were in the division though
A Gebirgsdivision is a basically a normal Infanteriedivision but with only two infantry regiments instead of three. About 14,000 men in a Division.
A Mountain Infantry Regiment:
1 Regtl HQ - 25 men
1 Regtl HQ Kompanie - 182 men, 4 LMGs, 2x150mm Howitzers
3 Mtn Inf Battalions with ea. 877 men, 40 LMGs, 12 HMGs, 6 81mm mortars, 4 120mm Mortars, 2 75mm Mountain Inf Howitzers
16th Kompanie (A/T) - 190 men, 6 LMGs, 36 Panzerschrecks, 3 75mm AT Guns
