Re: Best Heer Panzer division in Wehrmacht ?

5. Panzer divison always could get enough reinforcement in the later period of war. In June 1944, prior to Bagration, she was one of two strongest Panzer divisions in the Eastern Front. In Jan 1945, prior to Vistula Oder, she also remained the strongest one in Army Group Center facing Russian onslau...

I'm not saying it was one of the best but it certainly was awesome in this campaign. Regards, Helmut what does you mean ? some people downgraded or underestimated the perfo...
