The 2.Panzerdivision was raised in October 1935 in Wurzburg and took part at the invasion of Poland in 1939. Then in 1940 it moved to the western front and invaded Luxembourg and France and moved to Dunkirk. After the fall of France it was first transferred back home and then in Spetember 1940 to Poland. in 1941 it was then transferred to Romania and took part at the battles in Greece. In summer 1941 it was transported back home for refreshment and stayed as reserve in Poland and southern France. In October 1941 the Division was brought into action on the eastern front with the Heeresgruppe-Mitte. There it fought until end of 1943 at Rshew, Smolensk, Orel and Gomel. Then at the beginning of 1944 the Division was transferred to Normandy where it was annihilated in combat in August 1944. It was then refreshed and reraised in october in the area of Bitburg. the Division then took part in the fights of the Ardennes and fought in 1945 in the German homeland where it surrendered to alliied troops in May 1945. Designed as a heavily-armored reconnaissance vehicle with the mission of observing enemy forces, the Schwerer Panzerspähwagen first entered service in the mid 1930s. Originally based on a 6x4 truck design, these large but fast armored vehicles evolved to include eight-wheel designs. Though not meant to engage enemy forces, Panzerspähwagens could withstand small arms fire and could return fire with a 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon. The better-armed Sd Kfz. 234 Puma had a heavier gun that was capable of destroying armored cars and light tanks. These vehicles were operated throughout the war, though the extreme conditions in the USSR and North Africa limited their usefulness. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
