Chapter 111 1st SS Panzer Division

In fact, historically, after Hitler seized power in Germany, he was in full swing to prepare the troops directly under him. These troops were all expanded from Hitler's Berlin Base Camp Guard.

Among them, Hitler's escort detachment was the predecessor of the 1st SS Panzer Division in the future, and was one of the earliest armed forces of the SS.

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

And now, some changes have taken place in history. After all, Cyric has already started preparations. In Libya, he has trained first-class armored forces. Therefore, the current First Armored Division is almost based on Libya's early personnel. expanded.

At the same time, the German Garrison Regiment, belonging to the infantry, was the garrison of the Berlin garrison.

This is already the initial skeleton of the Waffen SS. Although it has just begun, it has already shown that the Waffen SS is different!

The first Panzer Division was built in the Waffen SS! This armored division will be the most combat-effective 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!

Cyric is also full of confidence.

Now, the Great German Garrison, stationed near Berlin, will accept the Führer's orders at any time if there is any trouble, and suppress any signs of rebellion.

Meanwhile, the 1st Armored Division was stationed in Wittenberg, west of Berlin, where the terrain was open to facilitate the training of the armored units.

So, after accepting the appointment, Cyric left Berlin in great spirits and went to the station of the 1st Armored Division.

Panzer! In this day and age, there is no such unit! World War I is still a traditional positional battle! Britain, who invented the tank, is still treating the tank as a vassal of the infantry, and invented a funny classification of the cruiser tank and the infantry tank!

Only Germany, realized that tanks will change the situation of future wars! Blitz, will become a new terrible tactic!

And all of this is based on a lot of tanks!

The arrival of Cyric made the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division extremely excited. When Cyric's car entered the station of the Armored Division, the ceremony to welcome it had already been done.

Tanks are arranged in a line, the tank soldiers, standing in front of the tanks, they also put on the latest military uniforms, full of energy!

"Report to General, the First Armored Division has assembled, please instruct!" Division Commander Guderian shouted loudly to Cyric.

Cyric stood on the platform and looked down. Some of the faces were familiar. They originally followed Cyric to the Libyan desert, and some returned to Germany. Now, some of them are still at the desert base. inside.

At the same time, there are more new faces!

The new military uniforms made their military appearance more tidy. They raised their heads and looked at the commander who created this unit with one hand.

"The smoke of World War I has long since passed. Our Germany has walked over the ruins of the war. We are now strong again!" Looking at these soldiers, Cyric was also extremely excited.

"The history of having a country without defense has become a thing of the past. As long as we are not defeated in World War I, then we will be stronger than ever! Our Germany will never succumb to other countries! We will become this The strongest of the times!"

"Long live the great Germany!"

Long live!

The soldiers below shouted, they waved their fists, the two SS above, so shiny!

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

"We are the first armored division, so we are still groping." After the inspection of the soldiers, Cyric came to the division headquarters and discussed with the crowd.

Now, even the establishment of the armored division is a new attempt!

"Now, we mainly include the 1st and 2nd Panzergrenadiers, 1st Panzer Corps, 1st Panzer Artillery, 1st Panzer Scout Battalion, 1st Air Defense Battalion, 1st Assault Gun Battalion, 1st Panzer Light Infantry Battalion, 1st Rocket Battalion, 1st Engineer Battalion, 1st Logistics Battalion."

This is the first unit of the Waffen SS, so many numbers are number 1!

Although it is an armored division, there are not many real armored units. The only one that can be pulled out is the 1st Armored Corps!

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

Guderian was a little troubled.

Each battalion of four companies, one of which is equipped with the most advanced Panther tank, the 30-ton original design of the Panther, is now designated as the Panther 1 tank, at the same time, there will be three companies equipped with a reduced deadweight that compromises production. A 20-ton improved Panther, this is named the Panther 2 tank.

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

Therefore, the current first armored division can only have one armored regiment, or 2 armored battalions, but each battalion is reduced to 3 tank companies, each company has 21 tanks, and the battalion headquarters and the regiment headquarters each have 4 tanks. , 67 vehicles per battalion, and the entire armored regiment, only 138 vehicles.

Cyric nodded. As a traveler, Cyric had already realized the consequences of his lofty ambitions last time. This era is not as advanced as it was during World War II!

In history, even when the war broke out on September 1, 1939, the output of No. 3 and No. 4 tanks was only 98 and 211 respectively, which was not enough for the equipment in the preparation of the German army. Therefore, the tanks of the German armored division were mostly The No. 1 and No. 2 light tanks were replaced.

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

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

Anyway, in addition to being the commander of the Waffen SS, Cyric is also in charge of the equipment department. If there is any advanced equipment, of course, it must be supplied to the direct line troops first!
