5th Panzer Division

This is my 5th Panzer Division which is set up to use the Rapid Fire rules system, 99% of the figures are from Pendraken with the other 1% coming from Magister Militum all of the vehicles are from Pendraken. As you can see from the pictures and the descriptions this is based on a late war German Panzer division and all its support units.

The 5th Panzer Division was a German armoured division formed in 1938. It participated in key WWII battles, including the invasions of Poland, France, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union. The division played a significant role in the Battle of France and the Battle of Greece. During Operation Barbarossa, it advanced towards Moscow but was eventually pushed back. The division was involved in defensive battles on the Eastern Front and later in the Battle of the Bulge. It surrendered to Soviet and Western Allied forces in April and May 1945.
