Panzer Division

A Panzer Division was a key military unit in the German Army during World War II, primarily focusing on armored warfare. The term "Panzer" means "tank" in German. These divisions were designed to be fast-moving and mechanized, combining tanks, infantry, and artillery to conduct rapid assaults and encircle enemy forces. Their mobility and firepower made them highly effective in the early stages of the war, particularly during campaigns like the Blitzkrieg, where they aimed to achieve quick victories through surprise and speed. The concept influenced modern military strategies in combined arms operations.
