Converted Light Mechanized Divisions
Following the invasion of Poland, the German light divisions were seen to lack the firepower needed for large-scale, armoured breakthroughs. As a result, several light divisions were converted into full Panzer Divisions, with a more balanced mix of tanks, motorized infantry, and artillery.
The 6th and 8th Panzer Divisions are equipped with Czech tanks, and are part of XLI Army Corps of
Panzer Group Kleist.
6th Panzer Division: 35t tanks
8th Panzer Divisions: 38t tanks
6th & 8th Panzer Divisions, May 1940
