Panzer Elite
From OMGWiki
The Panzer Elite is one of four factions in Company of Heroes and Operation Market Garden. The Panzer Elite is one of Axis sides, the other one is the Wehrmacht.
The Panzer Elite draws its inspiration from the mish-mash of German units that opposed Operation Market Garden, including the 2nd SS Panzer Corps and Luftwaffe paratroopers. The single player campaign for this faction focuses on this battle. The German Panzer Elite division named Kampfgruppe Lehr is based on Panzer Lehr Division and other Kampfgruppe Divisions that participated during Operation Market Garden. Kampfgruppe refers to an ad-hoc combined arms formation, usually employing a combination of tanks, infantry, anti-tank weapons and artillery components. Such a formation is generally organized for a particular task or operation explaining why Kampfgruppe Lehr is thus named in the game and the resulting army's focus on vehicles units supplemented by infantry and artillery.
