== 1965 East German Intel on number of Davy Crockett launchers in US Army Europe (US Seventh Army) == 

 The East Germans knew that Crockett launchers were assigned to U.S. Army maneuver battalions (artillery bns are not maneuver bns). 
 Somehow they came up with the number of 183 as the total number of Crockett launchers in USAREUR (Not USAEUR as some spell it  tis an acroynm for and as indicated US ARmy EURope).  They broke down the subtotal between V Corps (72) & VII Corps (102) . . . but 174 isn't 183 & they showed no other distribution.  Even the Corps subtotals have holes in them:  V Corps only lists a 2 division total of 63, which is listed as 33 in the 3rd Armored Div & 30 in the 8th Inf Div . . . so, no explanation for the other 9 assigned to V Corps to achieve the 72 total.  VII Corps shows 33 D/C launchers in the 4th Armored Div & 30 each in the two infantry Divs, the 3rd & the 24th . . . & that adds up to 93, which is 9 less than the 102. . . . The East Germans must have decided that the Border Cav(s) for both V Corps & VII Corps had 9 Crockett launchers each. . . . and then there's another 9 Crockett differential between the 174 number & the 183 number  that might reflect the fact that a third Armored Cav Regiment was brought to USAREUR in 1961 as part of the buildup which was influenced in part by the Berlin Crisis (i.e., the issues with the newly built Berlin Wall & the associated controversy).  That third Cav regiment was stationed far behind the Border.  The East Germans had one set of reality on the number of D/C launchers; then there's the actual reality.
