Panzer Units at Kharkov, Mid 1942

[Einsamer_Wolf]

Does anyone know which Panzer Divisions fought the first battle of Kharkov, mid 1942? Am particularly interested in knowing what, if any, Waffen SS Divisions were there.

Warm Regards

According to Glantz's "Kharkov 1942: Anatomy of a military disaster":
3. Panzer-Division
14. panzer-Division
16. Panzer-Division
22. Panzer-Division
23. Panzer-Division

As far as I can see (in my quick scan of the book), there were no SS units directly involved in the fighting. LAH and Wiking were further south but as I said, they played no role.
