Battle Group and Unit Statistics
Early War
1st Panzer Division, May 1940
Formed: 15 October 1935 from parts of the 3rd Cavalry Division.
One of the original five Panzer Divisions, the 1st Panzer Division gained combat experience during the invasion of Poland in September 1939.
2nd Panzer Division, May 1940
The 5th Panzer Division was established on November 24, 1938, in Oppeln, then a part of Germany (currently Opole, Poland). The division took part in the 1939 invasion of Poland, though it did not play a significant role. It was involved in the southern advance toward Lwów and participated in the Battle of Lwów.
Due to a shortage of Pz-III and Pz-IV tanks, the 5th Panzer Division was below its full authorized strength in May 1940.
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
Formed: October 1939 from the 2nd Light Division
The 7th Panzer Division is equipped with Czech 38t tanks.
Formed: January 1940 from 4th Light Division
The 10th Panzer Division was formed on April 1, 1939, in Prague, incorporating units from the 20th Motorized Division, the 29th Motorized Division, and the 3rd Light Division. During the invasion of Poland, the division was still in the process of formation and primarily served in a reserve capacity.
