Chapter 111: The 1st SS Panzer Division

In fact, historically, after Hitler took power in Germany, he was in full swing to raise troops directly under him, which were all expanded from Hitler's Berlin base guard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Among them, Hitler's convoy, the predecessor of the 1st SS Paner-Division, was one of the earliest armed forces of the SS.

Therefore, the 1st Division of the Waffen-SS, also known as the Adolf-Hitler Führer Guard Flag Division, was all pure-blooded Aryans.

And now, there have been some changes in history, after all, Cirek has long been preparing for it, and in Libya, first-class armored forces have been trained, so the current 1st Armored Division is almost expanded with Libya's advanced personnel as the backbone.

At the same time, the Greater German garrison, which belonged to the infantry, was the garrison of Berlin.

This is already the original skeleton of the Waffen-SS, although it has just begun, but it has already shown that the Waffen-SS is different!

The first panzer division, built right in the Waffen-SS! This panzer division will be the most combat-ready unit in Germany!

In the future, all weapons and equipment will first be tilted towards the Waffen-SS, and this unit will be built into the most elite army in the whole of Germany!

Ciric is also full of confidence.

Now, the Fredeutsche Garrison, stationed near Berlin, was ready to take orders from the Führer to suppress any hint of rebellion.

At the same time, the 1st Panzer Division, stationed in Wittenberg, west of Berlin, was located near the open terrain for the training of armored units.

So, having accepted the appointment, Ciric left Berlin in high spirits and went to the station of the 1st Panzer Division.

Panzer Division! In this day and age, there are no such troops yet! World War I is still a traditional positional war! Britain, who invented the tank, is still treating the tank as a vassal of the infantry, inventing a hilarious classification of cruiser tanks and infantry tanks!

Only Germany, realizing that tanks will change the situation of future wars! Blitzkrieg, which will become a new terrifying tactic!

And all this is based on a large number of tanks!

The arrival of Ciric made the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division extremely excited, and when Ciric's car entered the garrison of the armored division, the ceremony of welcoming him was already ready.

The tanks are lined up, and the tank crews, standing in front of the tanks, are also wearing the latest military uniforms, and they are in good spirits!

"Report to the general, the 1st Panzer Division has been assembled, please instruct!" Guderian, the commander of the division, shouted loudly to Ciric.

Ciric stood on the platform, looking down, some of the faces were more familiar, they were originally with Ciric to the Libyan desert, some of them returned to Germany, and now, some of them are still in the desert base.

And at the same time, more new faces!

The brand-new military uniforms made their military appearance more neat, and they raised their heads and looked at the commander who single-handedly created this army.

"The smoke of the First World War has long passed, our Germany, walking through the ruins of the war, we are now strong again!" Looking at these soldiers, Ciric was also extremely excited.

"The history of having a country without defense is a thing of the past, as long as we are not defeated in the First World War, then we will be stronger than ever! We, Germany, will never give in to other countries! We will become the strongest in this era! ”

"Long live the great Germany!"

Banzai!

The fighters below shouted along, they waved their fists, and the two SSs on top were so shiny!

Their voices, through the clouds, resounded throughout the European continent! At this moment, the most powerful legion in all of Europe, announced its existence!

"We were the first armored division, so we're still figuring it out." After the review of the soldiers, Ciric came to the division headquarters and consulted with the others.

Now, even the formation of armored divisions is a new attempt!

"Now, we mainly include the 1st and 2nd Panzergrenadier Battalions, the 1st Panzer Corps, the 1st Armored Artillery Regiment, the 1st Armoured Scout Battalion, the 1st Air Defense Battalion, the 1st Assault Artillery Battalion, the 1st Armoured Light Infantry Battalion, the 1st Rocket Artillery Battalion, the 1st Engineer Battalion, and the 1st Logistics Battalion."

This was the first unit of the Waffen-SS, so many of the numbers were number 1!

Although it is an armored division, however, there are not many real armored troops, and the only one that can pull out is this 1st armored corps!

"In the past, we have studied that in fact, the most ideal armored division should be under the jurisdiction of an armored brigade, each brigade has 2 armored regiments, each regiment has 2 armored battalions, each battalion has 4 tank companies, and each company has 21 tanks, so that one of our armored divisions can have 336 tanks."

Guderian was somewhat troubled.

Each battalion has four companies, one of which is equipped with the most advanced Panther tank, the original 30-ton Panther of the original design, now named the Panther 1 tank, while three companies will be equipped with a 20-ton modified Panther with a reduced dead weight at the compromise of production, which is designated the Panther 2 tank.

But now, even if the requirements are lowered and it becomes an improved version of the 20-ton Panther, the output is still far from meeting the needs!

Therefore, the current 1st Panzer Division can only have one armored regiment, or 2 armored battalions, but each battalion is reduced to 3 tank companies, 21 tanks per company, 4 tanks each at the battalion headquarters and regimental headquarters, 67 tanks per battalion, and only 138 vehicles for the entire armored regiment.

Ciric nodded, as a traverser, Ciric has already experienced the consequences of his own lofty ambition last time, this era is not as advanced as it was during World War II!

Historically, even when the war broke out on September 1, 1939, the production of tanks No. 3 and No. 4 was only 98 and 211 respectively, which was not enough for the equipment in the German army, so the tanks of the German Panzer Division were mostly replaced by light tanks No. 1 and No. 2.

Now, there is no No. 1 and No. 2, just start from the Panther, and for more than a year, it is not easy to have the current production of more than 100 vehicles!

When Ford builds a factory in Germany, the entire German industry advocates streamlining and standardized operations, it should be able to bring tank manufacturing to a new level, and now, it can only rely on these equipment first!

Anyway, in addition to being the commander of the Waffen-SS, Shirek is also in charge of the armament department, and what advanced equipment there is, of course, must be supplied to the descendant troops first!
