''Abteilung'' (abbrv. ''Abt.'') is a German word that is often used for German or Swiss military formations, and depending on its usage could mean detachment, department, or battalion. In German it is used both for military and civilian departments (as in "office department"). During the Second World War, the term ''Abteilung'' generally meant "battalion" and was used for battalion-size formations in the armoured, cavalry, reconnaissance, and artillery arms of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. For example, ''Schwere Panzerabteilung'' translates to "heavy tank battalion". But when the term was used for large military formations, it generally meant "detachment". For example, ''Armeeabteilung'' translates to "army detachment" and ''Korpsabteilung'' to "corps detachment".〔Walter Dunn, ''Kursk: Hitler's Gamble, 1943'', 1997, p. 61.〕 ==See also== * Aufklärungsabteilung * Sonderabteilung * Sturmabteilung 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abteilung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
