The mainstay of the Panzerwaffe was the Panzer division. These consisted of a panzer brigade (two tank regiments) and two motorised or mechanised infantry regiments. All forces of a Panzer division were mobile. Support elements included self-propelled artillery, self-propelled anti-tank, and armoured reconnaissance cars. After the campaigns in Poland and France, the Panzer divisions were reduced in size, with only one Panzerregiment per Division. This move was taken to allow the creation of several new divisions with the available tanks.
During World War II the German army also fielded a number of Panzergrenadier divisions consisting of motorised infantry (or armoured infantry for some of the battalions, when sufficient half-tracked armoured carriers were available), with self-propelled artillery and Jagdpanzer, and in some cases a significant panzer component.
This is a guide to the camouflage and markings used by the Panzerwaffe (German tanks and associate equipment) in Poland in 1944, featuring 44 colour profiles and Including free decals.
