  German First Panzer Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In January 1942, Army Group von Kleist, which consisted of the First Panzer Army along with the Seventeenth Army, was formed with its namesake, von Kleist, in command.

In October 1941, when the First Panzer Army had been formed, it was a large army consisting of four corps, several infantry, panzer, motorized, mountain, and SS divisions, along with a Romanian army and some Italian, Romanian, and Slovak divisions.

 THE ARDENNES: BATTLE OF THE BULGE (V)
Manteuffel's Fifth Panzer Army, initially acting as the center, had the mission of crossing the Meuse to the south of the Sixth, but because the river angled away to the southwest might be expected to cross a few hours later than its armored partner on the right.
Hitler's early plans speak of the Sixth SS Panzer Army, although on 16 December the army still did not bear the SS appellation in any official way, and it is clear that the Sixth was accorded the responsibility and honor of the main effort simply because Hitler felt he could depend on the SS.
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.

 Heinz Guderian
In this way, his Panzer units crossed rivers with ease – and those senior commanders who had failed to support Guderian in the development of his idea, had to admit that they were wrong.
For the attack on Russia, Guderian was in charge of the Second Panzer Army.
Ironically, it was the failure of Blitzkrieg to deliver a knockout blow in Russia that led to Hitler sacking Guderian at the end of 1941.

 Heinz Guderian
For the battle of France he was given a Panzer group, and his brilliant handling was a perfect demonstration of the concept of blitzkrieg -rapid armored breakthrough, supported by air power, on a narrow front- which he had propagated in his writings.
Together with Panzer Group III under Hoth, he was able to create major pockets containing huge amounts of soldiers and tanks of the Russian army, which were sealed off as the German infantry arrived.
This brought not only the Army's panzer and panzergrenadier divisions within his orbit but also the armored troops of the Waffen SS, the Luftwaffe and even the armored trains.
