Notes:
Standard infantry division (motorized) artillery regiments had two battalions (Ist and IInd) of 105mm light field howitzers. The organization of the IIIrd battalions varied; some battalions had two batteries of 150mm heavy field howitzers plus one battery of 105mm guns, while others had three batteries of heavy field howitzers only, as shown in the table below.

During the reorganization after the winter 1941/42 campaign, the GHQ Army anti-aircraft battalions which had been attached on a semi-permanent basis to infantry divisions (motorized) were permanently assigned to the corresponding artillery regiments as the IVth battalions. This permanent assignment resulted in the anti-aircraft guns frequently being (mis)used as field artillery, (and thereby not being able to perform their primary mission), so that on 01.05.43 the anti-aircraft battalions reverted back to being GHQ troops, thereby regaining their previous designations, and function.
