I was wondering if anybody would have any information on where I could get a hold of any books (New/Used, English/German) on the history of the 2.Panzer Division? Any info would be appreciated.

History of 2.Panzer Division/Books
Franz Steinzer : Die 2. Panzerdivision 1935 - 1945, Bewaffnung, Einsätze, Männer
This is a photo history of the division with basic desciptions of the when and where it saw combat.
Franz Josef Strauß : Geschichte der 2. (Wiener) Panzer-Division
This is the only unit history I am aware of and it is all written from the perspective of the anti-tank battalion (of which the author was a member) with a separate history of the Panzer-Regiment(s) that made up the division.
As to where you might find these books, pls. check the Feldgrau.com site (http://www.feldgrau.com) for bookstores that support Feldgrau and then go to http://www.sfb.at/ or check the German eBay site. Good luck and I hope you have deept pockets!
