Product Description
The 12th (GE) Panzer Division (Franken-Division) was the last of the 12 German combat divisions formed in 1961 during the Cold War.
Based on Army Structure 2, which was introduced to address the challenges of nuclear war, it was organized into the military branches necessary for brigade formation.
Of particular importance was the deployment of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st (US) Infantry (Frontline) Division to the 12th (GE) Panzer Division.
Furthermore, in a defense scenario based on the Integrated Defense Plan, the 12th (GE) Panzer Division was placed under the command of VII (US) Corps.
This was an unusual case at the time, as if attacked by Warsaw Pact forces, the 12th Division would be the only German army to deploy under the command of a US corps, and conversely, to command a US brigade.
This book traces the history of the Franconian Panzer Division during the Cold War from 1961 to 1994, showcasing impressive training photographs of the division's M47/M48/M60 Patton tanks, Leopard 1A4 tanks, and other vehicles.
