The decisive influence on the shaping of the organization and tactics of the German infantry before the outbreak of World War II was, on the one hand, the experience of the previous World War, but also theoretical works created in the 1920s and 1930s, which often emphasized the need to perceive the German infantry as a tool waging an offensive war. This affected both the equipment and the organization of the German infantry division, which during the September campaign of 1939 consisted of 3 infantry regiments, each of which was divided into 3 infantry battalions, an artillery company and an anti-tank company. In addition, there were numerous support units, including: an artillery regiment with 4 artillery squadrons (including one heavy), an anti-tank battalion, a sapper battalion and a communications battalion. In total, the so-called infantry division In the first mobilization wave, there were approximately 17,700 people and had a significant artillery component, but also was abundantly equipped with machine guns. It also had modern and efficient - for those times - means of communication and command. In the course of the war, infantry divisions underwent transformation - in 1943 some of them were transformed into armored grenadier divisions. However, from 1943, the standard division of the "traditional" infantry consisted of approx. 12,500 men (and not approx. 17,700 as in 1939), and its artillery component - especially heavy artillery - was also reduced in it, while its anti-tank defense was significantly improved. It is assumed that during the entire Second World War, about 350 infantry divisions served in the Wehrmacht.

During World War II, the British Army formed a total of 43 infantry divisions. At the start of the war, the division's staff numbered approximately 13,800 officers and soldiers, while in 1944 this number increased to approximately 18,300 people. This significant change in the number of employees resulted primarily from the increase in various types of support units, and not the increase in the number of infantrymen themselves. In 1944, the British infantry division consisted of three infantry brigades, each with its own headquarters, a staff platoon, 3 infantry battalions, and engineering divisions. It is worth adding that a single infantry battalion had approx. 780 officers and soldiers and had numerous support units (e.g. a mortar platoon or a reconnaissance platoon). The division also included a de facto artillery brigade with five artillery regiments (including one anti-tank and one AA), a battalion of machine guns and mortars, as well as reconnaissance, communication and sapper units. An important element increasing the mobility of the British infantry division was its full motorization. The British infantryman's primary rifle was the Lee Enfield No.1 or No.4 rifle. As machine weapons, among others, Sten submachine guns, Bren manual machine guns and Vickers machine guns were used. The most commonly used anti-tank weapons were the 40 and 57 mm 2- and 6-pounder cannons, and later also the 76-mm 17-pounder cannons. In turn, the main armament of the field artillery was a very successful howitzer Ordnance QF 25-pounder.

Sd.Kfz 250 was a German light, half-track armored transport from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1939, and serial production continued in the period 1940-1944, ending with the production of about 6,700 units. The Sd.Kfz 250 was powered by a six-cylinder engine Maybach HL 42 TRKM with 100 hp .

The Sd.Kfz 250 was developed as a light reconnaissance and multipurpose vehicle for the German armored divisions and panzer grenadiers. In the course of serial production, two versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 hull were created: the first (called "alt") had undercut side hull plates and a broken armor plate at the front of the hull. In 1943, the "neu" version was introduced, which was simplified: the hull sides were flat, as was the armor plate on the front of the car. During the Second World War, several variants and versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 were created. The first chronological version was the Sd.Kfz 250/1, which was the basic version and could function as a light infantry transporter or reconnaissance vehicle. Later, the Sd.Kfz 250/3 version appeared, which was a command version with a long-range loop antenna and a long-range radio. Later, a version armed with an 80 mm mortar (Sd.Kfz 250/7), a 28 mm anti-tank gun (Sd.Kfz 250/11) or a reconnaissance vehicle with a 20 mm cannon in a rotating turret (Sd. Kfz 250/9). Cars Sd.Kfz 250 of all versions were used primarily in armored divisions and armored grenadiers on virtually all fronts of World War II.
