The 3rd Battalion, 34th Regiment, " Livorno " Infantry Division, composed mainly of conscripts, is recorded by its commanding officer as having made a valiant but ultimately equally unsuccessful daylight attack in the Gela beachhead two days later alongside infantry and armour of the Hermann Göring Panzer Division.

Pulling the III Panzer Corps back through the difficult terrain, and repositioning it 15 kilometers south of Boyarka, for the new attack lasted until February 11, with a week having been lost because of the misguided initial assault.

In May 1942, after having engaged in heavy fighting around Moscow in the winter of 1941 – 1942, the 7th Panzer Division was transferred to France for refitting.

When the SS Panzer division Das Reich tried to reinforce the German forces in Normandy, Starr's troops delayed it so it arrived too late to stop the landings.

When III Panzer Corps was finally given a realistic mission of relieving Gruppe Stemmermann, German logistics proved incapable of keeping Bäke's heavy tank regiment supplied, leading Bäke to stop the advance on Hill 239 because one group of his tanks had run out of fuel.

This, coupled with the presence of several Panzer divisions from the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht around Warsaw which administered a sharp reverse to the Soviet 2nd Tank Army in the final days of July, was, according to this view, sufficient to stop the Red Army in its tracks on the Warsaw front.

The Axis army commanders had become aware of the U. S. movements and decided that the 10th Panzer Division should stop them.

It was thus intended to stop production of the Panzer IV itself at the end of 1944 to concentrate solely on production of the Jagdpanzer IV, but the Panzer IV was in production all the way until the end of the conflict along with Jagdpanzer IV.

First Panzer Division came within 25 km of Dunkirk despite determined British resistance, but was ordered to stop by Hitler.

Bayerlein aided the Archbishop of Hungary, Cardinal Seridi in Budapest, in his efforts to stop the deporting of Jews in the Panzer Lehr Division sector.

The most common mounting was a German anti-tank gun on the Czech Panzer 38 ( t ) chassis to produce the Marder III.

The Panzer 38 ( t ) chassis was also used to make the Jagdpanzer 38 ' Hetzer ' casemate style tank destroyer.

Based on the Panzer III tank chassis, the Sturmgeschütz III was originally fitted with a low-velocity gun, and was assigned to the artillery arm for infantry fire support.

It was heavily fortified with concrete walls and turrets of T-34, Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks.

This was in no way similar to a German Panzer Corps.

It was realised that the war would be decided in the factories, not a quick-decision " Panzer operation ".

Apart from the few motorised and Panzer Divisions, ninety percent of the German Army was not a blitzkrieg army.

The transformation from the stalemate of the First World War into tremendous initial operational and strategic success in the Second, was partly the employment of a relatively small number of mechanised divisions, most importantly the Panzer divisions, and the support of an exceptionally powerful air force.

For example, the Panzer III was originally designed with a 37 mm gun, but was mass produced with a 50 mm cannon.

Despite the improved guns, production of the Panzer III was ended in 1943, as the tank still could not match the T-34, and was replaced by the Panzer IV and Panther tanks.

The First Battle of El Alamein ( 1 – 27 July 1942 ) was a battle of the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War, fought between Axis forces ( Germany and Italy ) of the Panzer Army Africa ( Panzerarmee Afrika ) commanded by Field Marshal ( Generalfeldmarschall ) Erwin Rommel, and Allied ( specifically, British Imperial ) forces ( Britain, British India, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand ) of the British Eighth Army commanded by General Claude Auchinleck.

Robcol was able to buy time, and by late afternoon the two British armoured brigades joined the battle with 4th Armoured Brigade engaging 15th Panzer and 22nd Armoured Brigade 21st Panzer respectively.

On 12 July, the 21st Panzer Division launched a counter-attack against Trig 33 and Point 24, which was beaten off after a 2½-hour fight, with more than 600 German dead and wounded left strewn in front of the Australian positions.

The battle was a German attack by Sepp Dietrich's 6th Panzer Army between 6 March and 16 March 1945, and in the end, resulted in a Red Army victory.

Because the German economy could not produce adequate numbers of their half track APC, barely a quarter or a third of the infantry in Panzer or Panzergrenadier divisions was mechanized, except in a few favored formations.
