Does anyone have historical data on British and French AAA batteries?

Some aerial shots of Flak batteries:

Looks like the distance between the guns is twice the size of a gun pit.

HenFre, those are diagrams are based on units for 1943 correct?

I found some documents tonight for Motorized Flak Battalions via May 1940. Only gives figures for Light AA Companies tho. Will post the information when i get a chance.

@schilla22: The 8,8 cm Flakbatterie is from 1943 and based on the way the army has organised the unit. Here is a link:

There should not be a significant difference between the units of 1943 and 1940 from what I have been able to find on the internet.

The 2 cm Flakbatterie is based on the Luftwaffes own organisation and this is how it looked in august 1940. Here is another link:

Looking forward to seeing the info you have

I found a web site tons of TO&Es. However its like finding a needle in a hay stack (over 8 hours and only up to about 1942). Still haven't located much information on Flak Regiments, or Heavy Flak Battalions etc. So cannot give any information on 8,8 cm Flak units.

Your info is spot on via that site for Gliederung according to a recently found Equipment list for that specific unit. Also found a later war list for 1944.

I found a PDF "Organization of the Motorized Flak Battalions
10 May 1940" (google search that and you should find it, if not can prob email or PM it)

There are 2 different types of Battalions listed. The first is almost the same as Gliederung. Except that a few misc vehicles are missing or added. But there are 3 Platoons of 4 guns, instead of 4 with 3 guns.

This is for the following Flak Battalions: 31st /46th /47/48/52/55/59/66

The 2nd Example is roughly 3 times larger. In this Battalion there are 3-4 Companies of 3 Platoons, each with 4 guns.

This template applies to 601st through 606th Flak Battalions.

You have me extremely interested in this subject matter. And thinking about doing a few diagrams myself similar to yours for the FMB community if you don't mind. Currently looking into motorized and armor divisions.
