In the American Army of the same time period , the smallest tactical unit is the platoon . A company is 3 platoons , a battalion is 3 companies. An American tank platoon in 1941/42 , is 5 tanks. 5x3x3=45 tanks to a battalion. By the young ladies own math there is only 20 tanks per battalion in her brigade of 64 tanks , the Americans will have 135 tanks in a brigade . All this before the Americans are even in the war . I expect that this is the early days of the build up of the soviet army for the long march from Stalingrad to Berlin , and on that march the number of tanks in a brigade will double , if not triple.
For , did not Stalin say “Quantity has a Quality of it’s own” ?
