| NOTES:
[1] As foreseen by the 01.10.1943 Szabolcs Plan, the peace time organization,
personnel – although without equipment – for the 15th Reserve Division were prepared
in case of mobilization. However, the equipment never became available, and the 15th
Division (the second wave of the V Corps) was consequently never raised. The personnel
was used to fill up other units of the V Corps.
