Does anyone know if panzer divisions had SP artillery as a permanent part of the division? I am wanting to build a Wespe as part of the 1st SS panzer division at Kursk I read that that ubit had red-brown camo at the Kursk battle in Panzer Colors 3 Thanks in advance

Chad,
Division are groupings of all arms to form a team. Tank divisions would just have more tanks, infantry would be heavy in infantry. They would however have there supporting arms under command. Here is an example ORBAT of a German Panzer Div. Note it has its own Arty regiment. And the arty of an armoured div later in the war would be likely self propelled.

Hope this helps.
