	Panzer II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Panzer II was the main battle tank of the German Panzer divisions beginning with the invasion of France, until it was replaced by the Panzer III and IV in 1940/41.
		The Panzer II was perhaps tested in the Spanish Civil War and used in the German campaigns in Poland, France, Denmark, Norway, North Africa and Russia.
		The Panzer II A, B, and C had 14 mm of slightly sloped homogenous steel armor on the sides, front, and back, with 10 mm of armor on the top and bottom.

	German 2nd Infantry Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German 2nd Infantry Division was created from components of the Reichswehr's old 2nd Division in 1934, at first under the cover name Wehrgauleitung Stettin and later Artillerieführer II; it did not take its real name until October 1935.
		In October 1940 the division was reorganized as the 12th Panzer Division, and in June of 1941 it joined Operation Barbarossa, fighting in the battles of Minsk and Smolensk.
		It fought the rest of the war on the Russian Front, notably at the Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943, and surrendered to the Soviets in the Courland Pocket at the end of the war.

		In 1943 the division was decimated in Tunisia and it surrended.
		Panzer Lehr - creating this kind of a unit by OKW was definately a BIG MISTAKE and then sending it in jungle in bright daylight and finally employing it in a kind of a Stelungskrieg-madness.
		If Panzer Lehr had been employed on the eastern front instead of in the Normandy bocage, where it was also subjected to naval gunfire and was almost annihilated by carpet bombing, it would probably have been able to show what it could do.

		The ultimate objective for the 12th Division attack was the attainment of a line at Nidrum and Weywertz, eight airline miles beyond the American front, at which point the division was to face north as part of the infantry cordon covering the Sixth Panzer Army flank.
		Armored infantry kampfgruppen from the 12th SS Panzer Division and 1st SS Panzer Division were assembled close behind the infantry divisions, in part as reinforcements for the breakthrough forces, in part because none of the Volks Grenadier units were used to close cooperation with armor.
		The I SS Panzer Corps commander had decided to put the weight of his armored thrust to the south and thus avoid entanglement with the American force which, it was thought, could be gathered quickly on the Elsenborn ridge in the northern sector of the zone of advance.
