The «Deutsche Panzerwaffe» PVC patch collection (desert), panel N. 14 #deutschepanzerwaffe Panzerwaffe (German for "Armored Force" or "Armored Arm") was the armored branch of the German Army (Wehrmacht) during WWII. It played a central role in Germany’s early military successes and was the spearhead of Blitzkrieg ("lightning war") tactics. Origins & Formation Developed in the 1930s, heavily influenced by military theorist Heinz Guderian, who advocated for independent, fast-moving tank units. Officially established in 1936, when the Wehrmacht created fully mechanized Panzer Divisions (tank divisions). The Panzerwaffe unified tanks with mechanized infantry, artillery, and reconnaissance to function as self-contained units. Structure & Composition Panzer Divisions: Included Panzer Regiments (with tanks like Panzer III, IV, V "Panther", and VI "Tiger") Panzergrenadiers: Mechanized infantry troops transported in halftracks or trucks Self-propelled artillery, reconnaissance, and engineer units Uniforms: Distinct black uniforms with pink piping (the "Waffenfarbe" or branch color for armor troops) Inspired by traditional Brunswick hussars ?
