Units like Panzer Lehr and 21st panzer division were equipped with SPW's ( sdkfz 251, 250 or somua half traks) in both infantry regiments, and the rest of the armoured panzer divisions also had at least a kompanie o battalion equipped. So probably the SPW's were the most numerous armoured vehicle in...

This kompanie 316, was equipped theorically with 3 tigers and 9 Stug III's. Was opperating with the Panzer Lehr division but on the 19th of June is said that was ambushed by a numerous group of allied tanks (estimated about 40) and lost most of its tanks. I've been unable to found any allied formati...

I've read that tanks of 13/18 hussars, 27th armoured brigade did support the 6th airborne brigade from the 6th june onwards. Is there any action of their actions there. With loses and claims. I've seen a picture of 2 of them lost in BOis du mont area. Did they participate in the combats of the 51st ...

Hi panzer 88 There were nothing like 23 panzer grenadier division, I imagine its an error and is talking about 23rd panzer division. The Luftwaffe divisions sent to the front were the 7th and 8th. Asfik they were not involved in the relief attempt but in the fighting to the north and as a result of ...

Well certainly Igorn tends to reflect the German defeats. But some times the answers and other opinions create interesting issues. Tigers design was older than the JS 2 or the ISSU SP guns armed with 122 or 152mm guns. Tigers were created to kill T-34's or KV 1's and resist the fire of their guns. I...

Was this the strenght of these units just before the operation in november-december ??

A batterie of 243 stug abt is cited as taking part in "sturmgeschutze vor" . The rest of the abt was encircled in Stalingrad and destroyed there.

Hi, Well I would like to know when did the panzer III N began to be delivered to the different units. There weas any "philosofy" behind the delivery or just the normal replacement and refurbishement of the different units. Did they see any improvement in anti tank performance in the 75mm L24 ussing ...

All the accounts I've read about the relief attemp to Stalingrad are focused in the actions of 6th panzer division. I woud like to know the strenght of the 2 other divisions involved and their actions during the attemp. The 23rd and later the 17th panzer divisions were involved in the fighting. Was ...
