21. Panzerdivision (GEAB27) The 21st Panzer Division is one of the more colourful divisions to fight in the Normandy Campaign. Descended from Rommel's legendary Afrika Korps, they would have attracted attention anyway. On top of this, their equipment was rather unique, featuring modified French tanks giving them a unique blend of mobility and firepower. Check out the 21.

	The Hotchkiss (7.5cm) assault guns are well-armed, but lightly armoured. They mass their firepower to overcome the enemy before they can exploit the Hotchkiss (7.5cm) assault gun’s weak armour. To take advantage of the vehicles strengths, a commander will manoeuvre a strong battlegroup into a covered firing position before opening fire, taking the enemy by surprise.

155. Panzerartillerie regiment are equipped with self-propelled guns mounted on French Lorraine Schlepper tracked carrier chassis. The third battery in each self-propelled artillery battalion has the heavy 15cm (sf ) Lorraine Schlepper self-propelled guns.

	The 21st Panzer Division used French half-tracks fitted with armoured bodies in place of the usual Sd Kfz 251 half-tracks.

The Sd Kfz 231 eight-wheeler armoured car was bigger and better armoured than the small Sd Kfz 222, allowing it to carry its own radio. This made it ideal for longer-ranged patrols deep behind enemy lines.

	21. Panzeraufklärungsabteilung (Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion) has a mix of old train-ing equipment and the latest issue. The wheeled armoured cars are an assortment of four and eight-wheeled armoured cars dating back to the first year of the war. Being good German equip-ment they still function.

The Sd Kfz 221, 222, and 231 armoured cars are able to use their mobility to scout out the enemy and find and secure routes of advance for the panzers.

	The motorised panzergrenadier battalions have much more firepower than the rifle battalions of the infantry divisions, allowing them to launch attacks and counterattacks without the need to wait for outside support. When they have panzers and artillery attached, they are difficult to stop without a layered defence in depth.
